The revival of Arthur Miller’s play will run at the theatre from the 21st February until the 18th April.
The Young Vic Theatre has announced casting for its revival of Broken Glass, directed by Jordan Fein.
It has been announced that Tony nominee Eli Gelb plays Phillip Gellburg, while Pearl Chanda takes the role of Sylvia Gellburg. They will be joined by Juliet Cowan (Am I Being Unreasonable?) joins as Harriet, while Alex Waldmann (Andor) plays Dr Harry Hyman. Further casting has yet to be announced.
Brooklyn, New York, 1938. Sylvia Gellburg reads about the violent attacks against Jewish communities carried out an ocean away in Germany. Most people look away, believing it will pass. Not Sylvia. Her obsession grows and soon she loses her ability to walk — a paralysis her husband, Phillip, believes is all in her head. Sylvia forms an undeniable bond with Dr Hyman and soon the cracks in her marriage become impossible to ignore. In the face of silence, Sylvia rises in defiance.
With opening night set for the 3rd March, the production forms part of Nadia Fall’s inaugural season as artistic director.
Arthur Miller’s play first premiered in 1994 nd won the Olivier Award for Play of the Year. This marks its first major London production in 15 years.
