Lauren Merrifield's Reviews > Broken Glass

The writing is excellent. Arthur Miller is incredible at writing realistic characters and realistic dialogue. It was easy to believe that these were real people and that this could really happen. The plot was also interesting. The mystery of discovering why Sylvia suddenly couldn't walk helped the plot move forward and it cause the audience to be intrigued enough to hold their attention. The one issue I ran into was that I didn't fall in love with any of the characters. They could have a happy ending or a sad ending and I wouldn't really care that much. I think it would be a very impactful play to see live. The actors would be able to bring out the strong themes of the play through the delivery of the lines and I think the audience would leave the show with a lot to think about. I think the staging would have to be very particular because of Sylvia's inability to move and because of some of the more intimate moments, but I don't think it would be too much of a challenge.
