EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a significant moment in theatrical history - the Federal Theatre Projects production of Macbeth at the Lafayette Theatre in Harlem, 1936. The image showcases a group of talented African American actors, dressed in elaborate costumes, immersed in their roles on stage. The sepia-toned print transports us back to an early era when Shakespeare's timeless play was reimagined with a unique twist. Known as the "Voodoo Macbeth" this production incorporated elements of voodoo culture into the traditional storyline, adding an intriguing layer of mysticism and cultural fusion. Amongst the actors depicted is one who stands out - a man using crutches to portray a crippled character. His commitment to his role is evident as he embodies his character's physical limitations with remarkable authenticity. The Lafayette Theatre's interior serves as the backdrop for this powerful scene, its grandeur enhancing the dramatic atmosphere. Located in Northeast Harlem, this historic venue played a vital role in showcasing African American talent during a time when racial segregation was prevalent. Preserved by The Granger Collection, this photograph not only captures an extraordinary moment but also represents resilience and creativity within African American theater during that period. It serves as a testament to the enduring power of Shakespeare's works and highlights how they can be reinterpreted through different cultural lenses.
