“This potent and poetic collaboration between Paula Vogel and director Rebecca Taichman delivers style and substance…“Indecent” begins with an indelible image. Actors stand in a row, arms at their sides. Then sand spills from their sleeves. It’s as if they’re dissolving. A fitting and haunting image for a work about the power of art that sifts through history.”

Taichman stages a stunning opening tableau for Indecent that has the troupe literally rising from the ashes, taking the playwright’s name to heart while evoking a sense of mortality (immortality as well)…Adding to the highly theat­ricalized storytelling are Taichman’s lyrical and image-rich direction, David Dorfman’s mesmerizing choreography and movement, and the at­mosphere-setting klezmer music…

“Here’s a sure bet for the regional theater circuit …. “Indecent,” now playing at Off Broadway’s Vineyard Theater, is also the name Paula Vogel has given the riveting backstage drama she’s written (with director Rebecca Taichman)…Thanks to Taichman’s impressionistic direction and David Dorfman’s stylized choreography, a troupe of long-slumbering Yiddish actors rise from the ashes and stiffly come to life to play their parts in this drama.”

– Variety Magazine

“Taichman (who did her Yale thesis on “Vengeance”) takes us all over the world on a plain, raised stage powerfully transformed by Riccardo Hernandez’s visual designs, Tal Yarden’s projections and Emily Rebholz’s costumes. For all the darkness of the subject, the staging is witty. The historical perspective is vast and knowing. And the lost story of gay love is profound.”
