Indecent by Paula Vogel
When Sholem Asch wrote God of Vengeance in 1907, he didn't imagine the height of controversy the play would eventually reach. Performing at first in Yiddish and German, the play's subject matter wasn't deemed contentious until it was produced in English, when the American audiences were scandalized by the onstage depiction of an amorous affair between two women. Paula Vogel's newest work traces the trajectory of the show's success through its tour in Europe to its abrupt and explosive demise on Broadway in 1923--including the arrest of the entire production's cast and crew.
Paula Vogel's play How I Learned to Drive won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1998, as well as the Lortel Prize, the Drama Desk, the Outer Critics Circle, and the New York Drama Critics Awards for Best Play. It also earned Vogel her second Obie Award. The Baltimore Waltz, Desdemona, And Baby Makes Seven, The Long Christmas Journey Home, A Civil War Christmas, and Don Juan Returns Home from Iraq are among the other productions. She's also had a long and illustrious career as a teacher and adviser to aspiring playwrights, first at Brown University and now at Yale School of Drama.
