Olivier Award winner Nancy Carroll (Hamlet, The Diplomat) is joining the cast of Arthur Miller’s psychological drama Broken Glass at The Young Vic in London.
Directed by Jordan Fein (Into the Woods, Fiddler on the Roof, Oklahoma!), Broken Glass is playing at The Young Vic from 21 February to 18 April 2026.
Nancy Carroll plays Margaret Hyman in the drama, alongside the already announced cast of Pearl Chanda (Hedda, The House of Bernarda Alba) as Sylvia Gellburg, Juliet Cowan (Am I Being Unreasonable?, Big Boys) as Harriet, Tony Award nominee Eli Gelb (Stereophonic) as Phillip Gellburg, and Alex Waldmann (Star Wars: Andor, Intimate Apparel) as Dr. Harry Hyman.
Final casting is to be announced.
Set in Brooklyn in 1938 during the rise of fascism in Europe, Broken Glass is a passionate story about the consequences of disconnecting with the painful realities of our world.
Broken Glass premiered in 1994 and went on to win the Olivier Award for Best Play and a Tony Award nomination. This marks the first major London production in 15 years.
Olivier nominee Jordan Fein returns to the Young Vic where he co-directed the groundbreaking reimagining of the hit musical Oklahoma! and follows the success of his latest critically acclaimed show Into the Woods, now playing at the Bridge Theatre in London.
Director Jordan Fein said in a statement: “I’m thrilled to be returning to the Young Vic with this extraordinary company and creative team. In Broken Glass, Miller exposes the harrowing consequences of ignoring the world around you and manages to create a play that echoes through the decades.”
Rebecca Miller and Kate Miller, Trustees of the Arthur Miller Literary and Dramatic Property Trust, said: “Broken Glass is one of Arthur Miller’s late, great plays which presents a fascinating psychological exploration of family, society, morality and power. On behalf of the Miller family, we are delighted to see it staged by the Young Vic with whom he personally worked closely with on several past productions. More recently, the Young Vic’s bold Miller revivals have gone on to captivate West End and Broadway audiences, and we are so excited to see this latest interpretation on the London stage with this remarkable cast and Jordan Fein at the helm.”
The Young Vic Artistic Director Nadia Fall said: “Arthur Miller’s Broken Glass feels achingly prescient. Miller examines how world events, with the rise of hate and fascism, can infiltrate and impact our psyche, our relationships and our bodies. It’s a beautiful study of marriage and intimacy, of connection and the fractures between couples over time. Director Jordan Fein is an exciting talent and I can’t wait to see his modern take on this powerful play.”
