WOW! ALL MY SONS has made a welcome return in a production at Santa Monica's Ruskin Group Theatre that is about as fine as they come, blessed by the inspired direction of Edward Edwards

Edward Edwards directs this stellar ensemble in an evening of compelling theatre that is heart stopping. An engrossing production that is a must see. It is our critic's pick of the week.

Director Edward Edwards stages his intimate and psychologically nuanced production almost like a mystery ;the puzzle is spotting all the clues and then piecing them together to understand what is really going on. Edwards' production is anchored by crackling acting work.
LA WEEKLY
Paul Birchall

The aftershocks are keenly felt in Edward Edwards' direction with a cast that resonates as it conveys the crushing weight of each carefully discovered revelation. There are not any licenses taken in this straightforward, if not determinedly exacting production. It runs as smoothly as a well-oiled machine. The pace strikes a perfect balance between measured and frenzied without losing control of either. Stripped down to its raw essentials, this cast delivers with finely felt nuanced feeling kept just under the surface until the final, hair-triggering denouement.

Miller's skills as a playwright shine through under Edward Edwards' skillful direction.

Director Edward Edwards does not attempt any revisionist flourishes in the current production of "Sons" at the Ruskin Group, but although his simple staging may seem somewhat tame at intervals, it has, on the whole, an emotional authenticity that honors the play's timeless themes.

Director Edwards and his cast create an unbelievably real experience where the audience is left haunted as what seems to be real life unfolds right in front of them.

All My Sons was directed by Edward Edwards with a sure hand. He shepherds his actors into the time and the place and guides and allows them to become what they must be to fully tell this moving story.

The Collector directed by Edward Edwards is currently at the Ruskin Group Theatre and packs the kind of wallop that keeps your heart pounding until the end.  Director Edwards skillfully keeps the action moving, making each moment almost spellbinding.
