Set in the impoverished and bustling Lower East Side of Manhattan
at the turn of the 20th century, The God of Vengeance is a
memorable urban drama of intrigue and romantic liaisons. The God of
Vengeance is a gritty, unflinching yet deftly written play. A
brothel owner lives with his family above his place of business,
and strives to keep his young daughter innocent of what goes on in
the establishment that provides their livelihood. However, the
girl's curiosity gets the better of her; upon witnessing the sordid
goings on, she rapidly develops a fascination for one of the
working girls. First published in 1906, and sporadically staged in
the decades to follow, the play is unique for featuring a lesbian
love affair - a matter shocking and taboo for its era. After one
performance in English in 1923, the entire cast was placed under
arrest for indecency. Critics of the time were divided; many noted
its artistic qualities, but roundly condemned its frank and
unabashed depiction of female homosexuality.
