Reviews
Part psychological detective story and part political drama ... [Broken Glass is] far and away the best of Miller's late plays ... [He] gives a riveting portrait of 1930s America in which antisemitism leads to a desperate desire for assimilation and in which consciousness of contemporary European horrors is regarded as debilitatingly eccentric. * Michael Billington, The Guardian *
