Indecent, which first premiered in 2015 at Yale Repertory, is a metatheatrical reworking of Sholem Asch's 1906 play God of Vengeance - a controversial yet critical part of the Yiddish theatrical canon - that received acclaim both internationally and its first American run in Greenwich Village, finally making it to Broadway’s Apollo Theater in 1923. It’s a fitting quote, because Indecent, written by Vogel and co-created with director Rebecca Taichman, is a play about restless ghosts of the theater-past, ghosts which spoke to Vogel across generations, and which she is in a unique position of vindicating in this engaging, heartfelt work. “You feel the ghosts in a really great way,” she remarked, “and they’re the kind of ghosts that are saying, ‘Welcome home.’”
In advance of the April 18 premiere of Indecent at Broadway’s Cort Theater, Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Paula Vogel spoke to the New York Times about her long-overdue debut on the Great White Way.
