Nine women accuse playwright Israel Horovitz of sexual misconduct
Award-winning playwright-screenwriter Israel Horovitz, who faces multiple allegations of sexual harassment, has departed from the Gloucester Stage Company.
The Massachusetts-based theater announced on Thursday that Horovitz – who is the father of Adam Horovitz of the Beastie Boys – had left after officials there confronted him about a New York Times story detailing on-the-record allegations ranging from forcible kissing to rape. Horovitz was Gloucester’s founding artistic director and an ex-officio member of the board of directors. In 1993, the Boston Phoenix reported similar allegations. But the theater at the time defended him.
