In 2019 it was recreated by Taichman at the Huntington Theatre (in co-production with LA’s Center Theatre Group) and also took Boston by storm. It was staged in several European cities before reaching Broadway in 1927, where it was deemed obscene and the entire company was arrested and prosecuted. Asch’s play features a Jewish couple who run a brothel in their basement, and whose daughter falls in love with one of the prostitutes. Indecent tells the story of the highly controversial play God of Vengeance penned by young 20-year old writer Sholem Asch. It won two Tony Awards, for Best Direction of a Play (Rebecca Taichman) and Best Lighting Design in a Play (Christopher Akerlind).

Written by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Paula Vogel, Indecent enjoyed its world premiere at Yale Repertory Theatre (co-produced with La Jolla Playhouse) in 2015, made its New York premiere off-Broadway, and marked Vogel’s Broadway debut in 2017.
