Step into a world of enchantment and drama, where the stage comes alive with vibrant colors and captivating stories. From the whimsical melodies of "Garden of my Dreams" in Ziegfeld Follies to the timeless words of Shakespeare's "Much Ado About Nothing, " play theatre takes us on a journey through time. In this mesmerizing collection, we witness Titania and the Clown dancing across a chromolitho canvas, their movements echoing the magic that unfolds before our eyes. The Merchant of Venice comes to life in an oil on canvas masterpiece, transporting us to Venetian streets filled with love and betrayal. Perdita from The Winter's Tale enchants us with her beauty in a chromolitho print, while Nonomiya captivates our senses with its vivid colors in a stunning woodcut. A Midsummer Night's Dream lithograph invites us into an ethereal forest where fairies dance under moonlit skies. Ophelia's haunting presence lingers as we gaze upon her lithographic portrait, capturing both her fragility and inner turmoil. Falstaff bursts onto the scene with his larger-than-life personality, bringing laughter and merriment wherever he goes. Travel back centuries as Musashibo Benkei brings captured Tosabo Shoshun to Yoshitsune in Horikawa Youchi no Zu Uki-e Nimaitsuzuki; every detail meticulously carved onto a color woodblock print. Aoi no Ue transports us further into Japanese culture through its intricate portrayal within Pictures of No Performances (Nogaku Zue).
