EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a theatrical production of Coriolanus, staged in Roslyn, NY, during the 1930s as part of the Federal Theatre Project. The New Deal initiative, created by the U.S. Works Progress Administration in 1935, aimed to preserve and develop theater skills, re-employ theater workers, and bring live performances to communities across the United States that had previously been deprived of such cultural experiences. The image features an elegant playbill, displaying the title of the play, Coriolanus, in bold navy blue lettering against a blue background. The play is attributed to George Bernard Shaw, a renowned Irish playwright, although it is actually a Shakespearean tragedy. The Federal Theatre Project was known for its association with Shaw, having produced several of his plays, including Pygmalion, which later inspired the popular musical My Fair Lady. The playbill also includes the name of the theater company, Theatre of the Four Seasons, and the location, Roslyn, Nassau County, New York State, United States. The typeface used in the playbill is distinct and adds to the overall aesthetic of the poster. The image is a testament to the rich heritage of American theater during the 1930s, a time when the arts played a crucial role in providing entertainment and employment during the Great Depression.
