NODA's comments on ACT's most recent production  - Broken Glass by Arthur Miller

“I was caught up in the drama right from the word go”

“The casting was spot-on. How lucky was the Director to have such a crop to pick from”

“We hardly had time to draw breath during the scenes, but the scene changes (which were excellently executed) just gave us the time to consume what we had witnessed”

“I must compliment the costume designer. The costumes worn felt just right. From hair design down to shoes, I felt everything had been thought about”

“Congratulations Axbridge Community Theatre on what really was an excellent production”

Brooklyn – New York – 1938.  The ingrained antisemitism faced by the Gellburgs daily is bearable. But what happens when racist violence flares up on the other side of the globe?  Can the rise of the Nazis really affect a Jewish couple living in the USA  - and will their marriage survive the impact on their livelihoods and their health?

Sylvia is obsessed by disturbing images from Nazi Germany,  currently featuring in the local press. Her husband Phillip downplays his Jewishness in order to fit in. When Sylvia suddenly loses the use of her legs, they engage a Doctor from their own community. But is he competent enough to tackle the root causes of her physical – and perhaps mental - illness?

First published in 1994, with debates about the holocaust and later genocides raging , the play examines Jewish identity through the prism of world events, local attitudes and personal feelings. Its themes remain strikingly relevant today.

This amateur production was presented by arrangement with Music Theatre International on behalf of Josef Weinberger Ltd.
