About The Captive

The Captive is a 1926 French play by Édouard Bourdet. The three-act melodrama was among the first Broadway plays to deal with lesbians and caused a scandal in New York City. The play was shut down after 160 performances and prompted the adoption of a state law dealing with obscenity.
