_"_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.
