Broken Glass

Sylvia, an American Jewish woman, mysteriously becomes paralyzed as news reports thrust Nazi Germany’s Kristallnacht (The Night of Broken Glass) into the American consciousness. As Sylvia’s doctor tries to diagnose this strange affliction, her husband’s debilitating struggle with his Jewish identity comes to light, shattering their already fragile marriage. This powerful late masterpiece by Arthur Miller, one of America’s greatest playwrights, incites a thrilling game of concealment through guilt, tragedy, and love.
