The true story of the controversial 1923 Broadway production of GOD OF VENGEANCE, a Yiddish play that featured a romantic relationship between two women, for which the producer and cast were arrested and convicted on the grounds of obscenity. The play traces the journey of the original work from its creation in Europe to its American debut, examining issues of censorship, artistic freedom, and cultural identity. Through a blend of historical narrative and theatrical innovation, INDECENT celebrates the resilience of artists and the enduring power of love and expression in the face of adversity.
