“Indecent” recounts the controversy surrounding the play “God of Vengeance” (produced on Broadway in 1923), for which the cast of the original production was arrested on the grounds of obscenity.
From its revolutionary plot to its torrid production history, "God of Vengeance" is an astonishing play. In the century since Sholem Asch penned his tale of the spiritual at war with the carnal, the play has been admired, translated, parodied, criticized, banned, prosecuted, forgotten, revived, and celebrated. This storied production history inspired the play "Indecent," written by Paula Vogel and commissioned by Yale Repertory Theatre and American Revolutions: The United States History Cycle at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival.
FlagShakes is thrilled to present these beautiful plays in tandem so audience members can experience Asch's "God of Vengeance," and the fascinating story of how this masterpiece impacted American history and theatre in Vogel's "Indecent."
