Award-winning playwright (including the Pulitzer for
How I Learned to Drive) Paula Vogel’S INDECENT is a play
about a play. In 1923 Sholem Asch’s God of Vengeance debuted on
Broadway amidst great controversy – was it revolutionary or was it heresy?
Vogel uses music and movement to tell the story of this brave
playwright and the courageous actors who performed his play. A sublime cast
takes on many roles under the award-winning direction of Rebecca
Taichman as this polemic play moves from country to country and is
executed sometimes against all odds and in unfavorable circumstances. Of
particular notice is the choreography of David Dorfman. Every
movement, whether center stage or sideline, portrays emotion and precision. A
remarkable job. Passion and determination are the foundation of this production,
and the audience is made aware of just how groundbreaking and dangerous the
undertaking was.
INDECENT is a tribute to the arts, a war on prejudices, a celebration of the human spirit, and a reminder that victories are often hard-won. This is a play that will run the gamut of your reactions and leave you exhausted and appreciative. Absolutely brilliant!
