EDITORS COMMENTS
was a groundbreaking theatrical production presented by the Federal Theatre Project (FTP) at the Hollywood Playhouse in 1938. This poster, featuring the enigmatic image of "The Amazing Dr. Clitterhouse" by Barre Lyndon, invites viewers to experience the intrigue and mystery of this innovative work of art. The Federal Theatre Project, a New Deal administration program, was established to provide employment opportunities for unemployed actors, writers, and technicians during the Great Depression. The FTP's mission was to bring live theatre to communities across the United States, making it accessible to a wide audience. Barre Lyndon's "The Amazing Dr. Clitterhouse" was a unique and thought-provoking play that challenged the conventions of traditional theatre. The story follows a group of criminals who disguise themselves as doctors and infiltrate a mental institution to carry out a daring heist. The production was praised for its bold and unconventional approach to storytelling, and it quickly gained a devoted following. This poster, with its striking use of light and shadow, perfectly captures the intrigue and suspense of the production. The suspended lamp, casting a warm glow over the image of Dr. Clitterhouse, adds an air of mystery and intrigue. The bold typography and simple design effectively convey the sense of excitement and anticipation surrounding the production. Today, "The Amazing Dr. Clitterhouse" is considered a landmark of American theatre history, and this poster is a testament to the innovative spirit of the Federal Theatre Project and the enduring power of live performance. Whether you're a fan of classic theatre or simply appreciate the art of the poster, this image is sure to captivate and inspire.
