Learning About Arthur Miller and Nazi Germany

Staples High School freshmen prepare to watch “Broken Glass” by Arthur Miller today in a special student performance at the Westport Country Playhouse. Students read and studied the play prior to attending. Directed by Mark Lamos, the production commemorates playwright Miller’s centennial year. “Broken Glass” takes place at the time of Kristallnacht, the night of broken glass, in Nazi Germany, as a Brooklyn Jewish couple’s marriage begins to shatter. The play continues through Oct. 24. (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Peter Chenot for WestportNow.com
