Broken Glass

A major revival of Arthur Miller's play Broken Glass in London starring Anthony Sher and Tara Fitzgerald.

Arthur Miller's Broken Glass centres on the lives of Phillip and Sylvia Gellburg, a New York couple living in Brooklyn in 1938. Phillip, who is obsessed with work and his own desire to assimilate, has little time for his wife - but when Sylvia suddenly becomes paralysed after reading newspaper reports of Kristallnacht in Germany, Dr. Harry Hyman is called in. As he gets closer to the source of Sylvia's affliction, a relationship develops that could have devastating consequences on the family as themes of guilt, personal tragedy and love start to unfold.

This critically acclaimed production directed by Iqbal Khan, and starring Anthony Sher as 'Phillip Gellburg' and Lucy Cohu as 'Sylvia Gellburg' was originally staged at the Tricycle Theatre in north-west London where it previewed from 30 September 2010, opened on 6 October 2010 and played a limited season up to 27 November 2010. This re-staged production, with Anthony Sher reprsing his role as 'Phillip Gellburg' and Tara Fitzgerald taking over as 'Sylvia Gellburg' will be presented at the Tricycle Theatre once again (from 10 August to 10 September 2011) prior to it's transfer to the West End's Vaudeville Theatre in mid-September 2011. Designs are by Mike Britton, lighting is by Matt Eagland, sound is by Tom Lishmann and the music is by Grant Olding.

Broken Glass in London at the Vaudeville Theatre previews from 14 September 2011, opens on 16 September 2011 and closes on 10 December 2011.
