Paula Vogel’s Indecent takes a fresh look at a century-old theatrical uproar GlobeArts
Writer Sholem Asch's 1906 Yiddish play God of Vengeance tells of a Jewish couple named Yekel and Sarah, who try to keep their daughter Rifkele chaste while Yekel runs a brothel downstairs.Scandal has a way of turning into legend, at least in the arts. Sholem Asch’s 1906 Yiddish playwas assured of notoriety after the entire cast of the 1923 Broadway production was charged and found guilty of “participating in an obscene, indecent, immoral and impure drama.
“I told the actors to imagine that this troupe decided to write a story, and picked the most important parts they want to share,” Rubin says.Vogel pointedly anoints Lemml, a presumably straight man, as the play’s most ardent defender. His life is changed by what its first English translator called its “moral beauty” – unlike orthodox Jewish critics when the original version first played New York in 1907.
