What’s Actually Indecent about Arena Stage’s “Indecent”

2 years ago by Jordana MerranAround Town

There’s much to wrestle with in the scant 105-minute run time of Indecent— religion, sexuality, immigration, anti-Semitism, and the power of art, to name just a few themes– but what stands in such sharp relief is simply that it’s based on a true story. The play… Read More

3 years ago by Jordana MerranAround Town
