    We're thrilled to have John Howard back at the Wharf in 2016. Through the 1980s and '90s, he was one of the company's finest leading men and he now returns to play one of playwright Arthur Miller's great characters in All My Sons, directed by Kip Williams.

     

    Andrew Upton, who programmed All My Sons, recalls John's performance in another Arthur Miller classic – The Crucible (1991). John played John Proctor and it was an extraordinary performance to behold:

     

    "It was like chemistry, an actor and writer just made for each other. As though John has Miller in his bones. There's something about his classic stature and his earthiness that suits Miller; he's both epic and domestic."

     

    Here, we dig through our archive of production photos to look back at John's formidable array of performances for STC – both epic and domestic.
