'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)
