COPAKE, NY --The Two Of Us Productions, the award winning theater company
based in Columbia County NY, is pleased to present BROKEN GLASS by Arthur
Miller on Saturday evening August 22nd 2020 as Virtual On-Line staged
reading starting at 7:30 pm.  

Arthur Miller's BROKEN GLASS is a thought provoking exploration of failed
relationships brought into focus by the events of November 1938 and the
"Night of Broken Glass" in Nazi Germany. Today's soldiers and their families
have a direct connection between daily life and deployments close to home as
well as thousands of miles away.  Families and individuals with ties to
these troubled communities & foreign lands scan the news daily, anxiously
looking for information about their loved ones.  So it was, especially for
recent European immigrants, in the months leading up to World War II. 

In BROKEN GLASS Sylvia Gellberg, shares this anxiety.  She watches the
increasingly violent events in Germany and Eastern Europe unfold through the
summer and fall of 1938.   The vivid pictures and lurid accounts in the
newspapers of the day bring to life for Sylvia the traumas and horrors being
experienced by those targeted by the fascist violence and fear mongering.
Like today's anxious citizens, Sylvia feels as if she is there.  Her
inability to influence events become manifest when she develops an inability
to walk.  

But, her inability to walk is actually the tip of the iceberg.  Sylvia's
husband Phillip Gellberg discusses Sylvia's condition with the family
physician Harry Hyman.  We learn more as Harry discusses Sylvia and
Phillip's tangled problems with his wife Margaret, and as Sylvia confides in
her sister Harriet.  The drama takes an unexpected turn when Phillip is
suddenly confronted with his own mortality and the shocking bigotry of his
long-time employer, Mr. Case.  We have a front row seat as Harry desperately
probes for the key to helping Sylvia walk again.   

To learn the rest of the story you'll have to RSVP to us at
