"It's moral vision, as well as the Miller voice, which remains as
strong and unrelenting as a prophet's, that distinguish Broken Glass."
- The New York Times When Sylvia Gellburg, a young Jewish woman living
in Brooklyn, becomes partially paralyzed from the waist down, her
husband Phillip is shocked: what could've caused this sudden
condition? The answer is Kristallnacht, the horrific, anti-Semitic
event occurring halfway around the world. As the Gellburgs reckon with
this pogrom and with the breakdown of their own marriage, a terrifying
thought emerges: will the Jewish people ever be able to avoid
persecution? Broken Glass is one of Miller's most moving and personal
works, touching on themes of Jewish identity and anti-Semitism,
winning him the Olivier Award for Best New Play in 1994. This Methuen
Drama Student Edition is edited by Ambika Singh, and Nupur Tandon,
with commentary and notes that explore the play's production history
(including excerpts from an interview with director David Thacker,) as
well as the dramatic, thematic and academic debates that surround it.
