Prize Winning Playwright: Indecent

“INDECENT is the tonic for anyone’s cynicism. It reminds me of why I love the theatre so much.” – Broadway World


From Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Paula Vogel comes a stunning play about one of the most shocking events in theatre history. Indecent tells the true story of the rise and explosive demise of the 1923 Broadway debut of Sholem Asch’s The God of Vengeance where its producer and entire cast were arrested on the grounds of obscenity.

 

Asch’s play originated in Poland in 1907 and while criticized by his peers it wowed audiences across Europe and in New York's Yiddish theatre scene. But when an English translation opens on Broadway the play's inclusion of the first same-sex kiss on an American stage proves too scandalous for the public. Told through music song dance and comedy Indecent is an arresting play about forbidden love artistic censorship and the enduring power of theatre.
