Synopsis
Press Reviews
"In a metier where people burn out fast, Arthur Miller is still remarkable for the acuity and scope of his moral vision. Miller’s voice, which remains as strong and unrelenting as a prophet’s, distinguishes Broken Glass and gives it a poignance so rare these days that it's almost new-fashioned.“ – The New York Times”Playwrights tend to burn out young, so the fact that Arthur Miller, seventy-eight, opened a new drama on Broadway fifty years after his debut, is noteworthy. Even better, the play is good – complex, mysterious, full of arresting incident, grippingly played."
