A tale of the spiritual at war with the carnal, “God of Vengeance” is about a Jewish brothel owner who attempts to become respectable by commissioning a Torah scroll and marrying off his daughter to a yeshiva student.
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."
