Performing at first in Yiddish and German, the play's subject matter wasn't deemed contentious until it was produced in English, when the American audiences were scandalized by the onstage depiction of an amorous affair between two women. Paula Vogel's newest work traces the trajectory of the show's success through its tour in Europe to its abrupt and explosive demise on Broadway in 1923--including the arrest of the entire production's cast and crew. \u003cstrong\u003ePaula Vogel\u003c\/strong\u003e is the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of \u003cem\u003eHow I Learned to Drive\u003c\/em\u003e.
