    The show is Arthur Miller's Broken Glass. It is November 1938, Brooklyn, New York. Sylvia Gellberg has suddenly mysteriously become paralyzed from the waist down. This happens right after she reads reports in the newspaper on Krystallnacht and an accompanying photograph of two old men forced to clean the streets of Germany with toothbrushes. She feels something should be done to stop the Nazis while most Americans believe the Germans won't allow them to get out of hand. The atrocities in Germany and her husband's denial of his Jewishness and her own realization that she threw her life away have overcome her. Arthur Miller peels away at the layers of the characters' lives in this exploration of what it means to be Jewish and American in 1938.
