Details

Powerful drama about a New York Jewish family during the Nazi rise in Germany. Part psychological puzzle and part romance, Broken Glass stands alongside All My Sons and Death of a Salesman as one of Arthur Miller's most powerful works. Brooklyn, 1938. Sylvia Gellburg is alarmed by the rise of Hitler in Europe, but how does this explain her sudden and mystifying paralysis? No one can help her - least of all her work-obsessed husband. When Dr Hyman takes on her case he finds himself playing a dangerous game where his interests are more than just professional.
