Arena Stage presents Pulitzer Prize winner Paula Vogel's thought-provoking play Indecent.

BWW REVIEW: INDECENT at Arena Stage
by Elliot Lanes
- Nov 30, 2018
There are some plays in the history of Broadway that you just scratch your head as to why they didn't have a longer run. Paula Vogel's Indecent is definitely one of those plays. It opened to rave reviews on Broadway, won the Tony Award for best direction and only ran 128 performances. The award win gave the show a considerable box office bump, but not enough to convince the show's producers to make a run of it in the summer heat. Thankfully, PBS preserved the Broadway production for posterity and the play is now getting a much deserved second life in regional theaters across the country.
