The play traces the controversial history of Sholem Asch's 1907 Yiddish drama God of Vengeance, which depicted a love scene between two women and led to the arrest of its entire Broadway cast on obscenity charges in 1923. Through a troupe of actors who perform the play across decades and continents, Indecent explores censorship, antisemitism, artistic courage, and the power of theater to preserve what history tries to erase.
