EDITORS COMMENTS
Counsellor at Law" was a powerful and thought-provoking play written by Elmer Rice and presented by the Federal Theatre Project in 1938. This iconic poster, now available as a print from Mary Evans Prints Online, advertises the Federal Theatre's production of the play at the Federal Theatre on Rainier and Atlantic Streets. The image on the poster features a determined and focused Counsellor, with a serious expression and a briefcase in hand, symbolizing his role as a legal advocate. The background is a stark, monochromatic design, drawing attention to the figure of the Counsellor and the title of the play. The Federal Theatre Project was an essential part of the New Deal's Works Progress Administration (WPA), which provided employment opportunities for artists, writers, and performers during the Great Depression. The project aimed to bring live theatre to communities across the country and to make it accessible to people of all backgrounds and income levels. "Counsellor at Law" was one of the many groundbreaking works produced by the Federal Theatre Project during this time. The play explores themes of social justice, morality, and the human condition, and it continues to resonate with audiences today. The poster serves as a reminder of the important role that the arts played in American culture during a time of great social and economic upheaval. The poster is a valuable historical artifact, offering a glimpse into the past and a testament to the enduring power of the arts to inspire, challenge, and provoke thought. Whether displayed in a home, office, or gallery, this print is a must-have for anyone interested in American theatre history, Elmer Rice's work, or the social and political climate of the 1930s.
