In a safe-house in the suburbs, human rights lawyer Myles Brody meets with a high-profile and controversial historian. She has been charged with denying the Holocaust, and he has agreed to defend her in court. But as her guilt becomes apparent, Myles is forced to doubt his most sacred principles, question his belief in the right to free speech and acknowledge that he too has been denying the past. The Glass Room premiered at the Hampstead Theatre in November 2006.
Ryan Craig has written plays for the National Theatre and the Lyric Hammersmith. He is the Writer-in-Residence at BBC Radio Drama and is a founder of member of the Monsterist group of playwrights. His last play, What We Did To Weinstein, was nominated for an Evening Standard Award last year.
