EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Corianolus, Roslyn, NY, [1930s]," is an intriguing glimpse into the past, showcasing a playbill for a production of George Bernard Shaw's "Coriolanus" put on by the Federal Theatre Project in Roslyn, New York, during the 1930s. The Federal Theatre Project, established in 1935 as part of the U.S. Works Progress Administration, aimed to preserve and develop theater skills, re-employ theater workers, and bring live theatrical performances to thousands of Americans who had never before experienced them. The playbill features bold orange and cream lettering against a dark background, announcing the production of Shaw's classic play, "Coriolanus," which is based on the Greek mythology of the same name. Shaw, a renowned English playwright, penned this political drama that explores themes of power, honor, and the human condition. The production was directed by Ernst Toller, a German expressionist playwright and theater director. The photograph is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the United States during the New Deal era, a time when the arts were valued as essential components of community life. The playbill's text, with its elegant typeface and English text, adds to the overall allure of this historical artifact. The image serves as a reminder of the enduring power of theater to entertain, educate, and bring people together, even during challenging times.
