I loved this play and really would love to see it live sometime. Vogel does a fantastic job bringing these characters to life telling the story of their Yiddish theatre troupe putting on an “indecent” play featuring Jewish lesbian prostitute characters and also following the actors’ interactions with each other and the writer of the play over the decades. I can tell there is heart in this, and I appreciated the fast-paced scene work that still provided so much depth against the historical background of the play in question and the place of Jewish people in European and American societies. I believe this might be Vogel’s writing at her finest.
