EDITORS COMMENTS
by Ben Jonson: A Poster from the Federal Theatre Project's Production at the Mayan Theatre This poster announces the presentation of Ben Jonson's classic comedy "Volpone" by the Federal Theatre Project at the Mayan Theatre. Dating between 1936 and 1941, this poster showcases a striking image of a skull adorned with gold coins, symbolizing the play's themes of greed, deception, and the human obsession with wealth. The Federal Theatre Project, a New Deal administration program, was established to provide employment for actors, writers, and technical staff during the Great Depression. The project aimed to make live theatre accessible to the general public, particularly those who could not afford to attend commercial productions. Jonson's "Volpone," a satirical masterpiece, follows the eponymous character, a wealthy and deceitful old man, who feigns illness to lure potential heirs and swindlers to him, hoping to inherit their wealth. The play is a scathing commentary on the human condition, exposing the corrupting influence of greed and the lengths people will go to acquire wealth. This poster, with its haunting image of a skull and the bold, modernist typography, effectively captures the play's dark and satirical tone. The use of the skull, a common symbol of death and the transience of wealth, underscores the play's themes and serves as a powerful reminder of the futility of greed. The Federal Theatre Project's production of "Volpone" at the Mayan Theatre was a significant moment in the history of American theatre, showcasing the power of live performance to engage and challenge audiences. This poster, with its striking design and evocative imagery, remains a testament to the enduring appeal of Jonson's classic work and the important role of the Federal Theatre Project in making theatre accessible to all.
