Indecent
by Austin Playhouse

Feb. 17 - Feb. 23 (2023)

Indecent follows the journey of a small theatre company as they tell us the story of Sholem Asch’s play The God of Vengeance from its origins in Poland 1907. The play achieved great success on the stages of Europe and in the Yiddish theatre scene of downtown New York City. But when an English-translation was attempted on Broadway, it proved too scandalous for the general public, and the entire cast was arrested and charged with obscenity.

The play is directed by Lara Toner Haddock with musical direction by Lyn Koenning.
