- "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"--Page [4] of cover
- ""Indecent reminds us of the power of art to tell us truths long before we are able to recognize them as such."--Los Angeles Times "Indecent sheds an eye-opening light on a little-known time when theatrical history, Jewish culture, and the frank depiction of homosexuality intersected, with explosive results."--New York Times When Sholem Asch wrote God of Vengeance in 1907, he didn't imagine the height of controversy the play would eventually reach.
