Broken Glass

"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.Author: Arthur Miller,author Contributors: Arthur Miller,author Binding: paperback Number Of Pages: 144 Publication Date: Release Date: Languages: English,Published,English,Original Language Published/Release Date: 17 Nov 2022 Format: Paperback / softback Publisher/Studio/Brand: Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Author/Director/Artist: Arthur Miller Dimension (cm): 196x128x10 mm Package Dimension (cm): 10x195x129 mm Item Weight (g): -1 Package Weight (g): 110
