Just alerting fústarers, on behalf of my friend Ms. Ann Blake, of a forthcoming production from the talented people at Impact Theatre.

Impact Theatre Company are proud to present the Irish Premiere of Arthur Miller's 'Broken Glass'.

Brooklyn, 1938: Sylvia Gellburg is stricken by a mysterious paralysis in her legs for which the doctor can find no cause. He soon realizes that she is obsessed by the devastating news from Germany, where government thugs have begun smashing Jewish stores. But this experience is intermeshed with what he learns is her strange relationship with her husband Phillip.

The play is a heartbreaking examination of family relationships while it eerily echoes the apathy of today's society toward world events that happen far away. Miller examines the relationship of the personal versus the political with extraordinary humanity.

The show will be amplified throughout with live violin score from musician Aland Assiri.

Directed by Patrick Burke, Broken Glass is the first production for Impact since the dramatic success of Magnum Hopeless in this year's UnFringed.

Opens on Tuesday April 4th and runs until Saturday April 8th at Impact Theatre. Doors 8pm. Admission €12, (concession 50%).

While we're on the subject I should mention that The Brad Pitt Light Orchestra (along with Vertigo Smyth, Windings, & The Fewer the Better) are playing a special 'Impact Theatre' fundraising gig on April 27th in Dolan's. A worthy cause to support and some luverly music to boot.
