Indecent
Arena Stage in Washington, DC (November鈥揇ecember 2018)

Max Wolkowitz 鈥09 starred as Sholem Asch/Eugene O鈥橬eill in the Helen Hayes Award鈥搉ominated production of Paula Vogel鈥檚 Indecent at Arena Stage in Washington, DC, Kansas City Rep, and Baltimore Center Stage. Reviewing the play, The Washington Post wrote, 鈥Indecent is Paula Vogel鈥檚 eloquent account of art happening against all odds. By the time the portrait is complete, you can expect to have been stirred deeply by the moving facet of human aspiration it celebrates, to speak the truth in a time and place allergic to it. It鈥檚 not a festive evening, mind you, in Arena Stage鈥檚 Kreeger Theater. Director Eric Rosen has assembled a hauntingly absorbing incarnation of Vogel鈥檚 Tony-nominated play, which had a too-short run on Broadway last year. Indecent may be too austere for a healthy commercial run these days, but it is still well suited to a home such as Arena, where a ready-made audience exists for a serious story exploring the consequences of illuminating love in all its permutations.鈥 (Photo credit: C Stanley Photography)
