God of Vengeance Revival

Ages: 12+
Closing: January 22, 2017

God of Vengeance - 2016 Off-Broadway History , Info & More

La Mama E.T.C.
85 East 4th St.(between Bowery & 2nd Aves) New York, NY

"Got fun nekome," tells the wrenching story of a brothel owner's attempt to marry off his daughter to lead a dignified religious life, only to have her drawn back into the life of sin in which she grew up. The show is credited with presenting the first lesbian kiss on Broadway in 1923 at the Apollo Theatre on West 42nd Street.

Considered one of the most psychologically revealing plays of the first half of the 20th century, and still highly explosive for its conflicted view of Judaism, "God of Vengeance" is frequently translated and adapted and is the basis of Paula Vogel's "Indecent," which enjoyed a critically acclaimed extended run last spring. (Plans to bring "Indecent" to Broadway this season have been announced.)

This extraordinary opportunity to experience this play authentically in its original language is presented by the internationally acclaimed New Yiddish Rep, which is known for presenting modern theater for diverse contemporary audiences (especially non-Yiddish-speakers) in Yiddish. Its acclaimed productions of "Waiting for Godot" (2013 & 2014), and "Death of a Salesman" (2015) -- nominated last season for two Drama Desk Awards (Best Revival of a Play and Best Actor in a Play for Avi Hoffman as Willy Loman) -- were credited with shedding new light on two modern theatre classics. David Mandelbaum is NYR's artistic director.
