Broken Glass, a play by Arthur Miller, is renowned for its powerful moral vision and the unforgettable voice of the protagonist, Hirsch. Set in Brooklyn, the play revolves around Sylvia Gellburg, a young Jewish woman who becomes partially paralyzed from the waist down. The cause of this sudden condition is the horrific Kristallnacht, an anti-Semitic event that took place halfway around the world.
As the Gellburgs grapple with the aftermath of this pogrom and the breakdown of their own marriage, a chilling thought emerges: will the Jewish people ever be able to escape persecution? Broken Glass is a deeply personal and moving work by Miller, exploring themes of Jewish identity and anti-Semitism. It received critical acclaim upon its debut, winning the Olivier Award for Best New Play in 1994.
This Methuen Drama Student Edition, edited by Ambika Singh and Nupur Tandon, includes commentary and notes that delve into the play's production history, including excerpts from an interview with director David Thacker. Additionally, the edition explores the dramatic, thematic, and academic debates surrounding the play, making it an invaluable resource for students and scholars alike.
Through the character of Hirsch, Miller offers a searing indictment of the dangers of prejudice and discrimination. His unwavering moral compass and his refusal to compromise his principles make him a hero to many, and his voice continues to resonate with audiences today. Broken Glass is a testament to the power of art to inspire change and challenge societal norms.
