'Broken Glass is a brave, bighearted attempt by one of the pathfinders
of postwar drama to look at the tangle of evasions and hostilities by
which the soul contrives to hide its emptiness from itself.' John Lahr
(The New Yorker) Brooklyn, 1938: Sylvia Gellburg is stricken by a
mysterious paralysis in her legs for which the doctor can find no
cause. He soon realizes that she is obsessed by the devastating news
from Germany, where government thugs have begun smashing Jewish
stores. But this experience is intermeshed with what he learns is her
strange relationship with her husband Philip. When the two seemingly
unrelated situations concatenate, a tragic flare of light opens on the
age. 'His strongest play for many years, a gripping and at times
powerfully affecting drama. As almost always in his work, it balances
private lives with public morality...It is also an amazingly
full-blooded piece, bursting with pain and passion.' (Charles Spencer
Daily Telegraph)
