catering food-styling prepared foods delivered special events consulting A Note on Broken Glass from Dramaturg Matthew Roudane Arthur Miller's Broken Glass premiered in America in 1994, first in New Haven, then in . The play was not well received by Broadway critics. However, later in 1994 Miller took it to London, where it opened at the Royal National Theatre, win• ning the Laurence Olivier Award as best play of the year. Now, nearly a decade later, Broken Glass is regarded by many as Miller's strongest work in years. Miller, ever interested in the public issues of the nation and the private anxieties of its citizens, drew on both political events and personal experiences while writing Broken Glass. On a public level, the play is set in 1938, in , at a time when a Polish Jew had recently assassinated a German official at the German Embassy in Paris, an event that prompted the Nazis to foment riots against the Jews throughout Germany. November 9, 1938, became known as Kristallnacth . That night the Nazis arrested 20,000 Jews, burned homes and synagogues, beat young children, murdered countless people, and shattered more than one million dollars of glass in Jewish storefronts. Miller saw newspaper photographs of elderly Jewish men being forced to scrub the sidewalk while a crowd of Germans laughed at them. To this day he still recalls those haunting photo• graphs. On a private level, Miller remembers a Jewish friend in the late 1930s who, tor• mented by the rise of Nazism and the public's seeming indifference to Hitler, suffered a sudden and mysterious paralysis of her legs. He turns these public and private memo• ries into key subjects in the play. "This is a story I have known and thought about for fifty years .. .. " Miller noted in his 1994, "but I haven't written it before because it seemed to be part of the past." But just as Miller looked back fifty years in Broken Glass, the play had its contemporary parallels. As the cast went through rehearsals in 1994, Miller felt that too many once again did little or nothing to protest the ongoing genocide in Rwanda and the ethnic cleansing in parts of Europe. Miller suddenly felt compelled to write what he first titled The Man in Black, then Gel/burg, and finally Broken Glass. Broken Glass, however, is less concerned with Kristallnach and its corollaries to recent political realities. It is a play about broken hearts. About fractured relationships. About those whose own denials, betrayals, and rationalizations have led them to lose sight of their civic responsibilities and personal commitments. The play charts the effects of those paralyzed by their own choices, choices that have ensured that Phillip and Sylvia Gellburg, married for over twenty years, live in parallel universes. For Phillip and Sylvia, spaces open up which prove unbridgeable. Necessity rules. Irony is constantly reborn from the frustrated desires of those who obey compulsions they would wish to resist. For Sylvia, especially, options slowly diminish. Suddenly Sylvia finds herself par• alyzed. Throughout the play she tries to name her paralysis, but she is unable to articu• late its sources or identify its etiology. She simply calls it a terrible aching. During the course of the play, however, Sylvia and Phillip come to terms with their world of dimin• ished possibilities, and they recognize their complicity in creating that world. By the play's end, though, Miller offers some saving grace - and even love. Maybe. With Dr. Hyman's advice, perhaps Phillip and Sylvia gain a deeper understand• ing of themselves. Sylvia finally moves beyond her paralysis. Ironically, as her husband falls, Sylvia rises. She takes her first symbolic steps towards recovery. Mixing grief and guilt, hope and understanding, by the final curtain Miller pieces together some, but not all, of the shards of broken glass. For Arthur Miller is, finally, a poet of the theater who himself discovers poetry in the broken lives which are the subjects of his plays, and in the broken society which they inhabit. - Matthew Roudane Pierre Brulatour (Dr. Harry Hyman) has previously performed in Atlanta in Trouble in Mind at Actor's Express, The Haunting of Hill House at Onstage Atlanta, Moreau at Art Within, and Merry Wives of Windsor at 14th Street Playhouse.
