EDITORS COMMENTS
This poster announces the Federal Theatre Project's presentation of "The First Legion," a powerful and thought-provoking play by Emmet Lavery, a renowned Jesuit author. The image on the poster features a solitary figure in a robe, kneeling in deep reverence at the foot of a towering stone cross. The muted colors and dramatic lighting create an atmosphere of introspection and contemplation, drawing the viewer in and piquing their curiosity about the play's themes. The Federal Theatre Project, a New Deal initiative established to provide employment for actors, writers, and technicians during the Great Depression, was instrumental in bringing important works of American literature to the stage. "The First Legion," produced in 1937, was one such production that showcased the talents of the Federal Theatre Project's artists and actors. Emmet Lavery, a Jesuit priest, was a prolific playwright whose works often explored the human condition, spirituality, and the complexities of the human experience. "The First Legion," a play in three acts, tells the story of a group of soldiers during the Roman occupation of Britain who are faced with a moral dilemma when they are ordered to kill a local holy man. The play delves into themes of faith, morality, and the power of the individual to make a difference in the face of overwhelming authority. This poster, a testament to the Federal Theatre Project's commitment to producing high-quality works of art and literature, serves as a reminder of the enduring power of theatre to provoke thought, inspire emotion, and bring people together in shared experiences.
