Broken Glass
321 Arsenal Street Watertown
It's November 11, 1938, the day after Kristallnacht, when Sylvia Gellburg loses the ability to walk. Her husband Phillip desperately seeks to find the cause. After consulting Dr. Harry Hyman, it's determined that her paralysis may have been psychosomatically induced. Hyman's obsession with curing Sylvia uncovers a complex tangle of egos, resentment and guilt, as well as Phillip's own paralyzing struggle with his Jewish identity. The powerful, Olivier Award-winning and Tony-nominated drama Broken Glass is presented as part of a national celebration of the centennial of the birth of playwright Arthur Miller, at Watertown's Arsenal Center for the Arts.
