EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic poster for the groundbreaking 1936 all-black production of Macbeth, directed by John Houseman and Orson Welles. The image transports us back to a pivotal moment in American theater history, when these visionary artists dared to challenge societal norms and racial barriers. In this striking Elizabethan-inspired design, we see the powerful fusion of Shakespeare's timeless tragedy with African-American culture. The text on the poster hints at both the government support behind this production through its mention of the Works Progress Administration (WPA), as well as its connection to early theater traditions. The presence of Orson Welles adds an extra layer of intrigue, as he was already gaining recognition for his innovative approach to storytelling. Together with Houseman's directorial expertise, they crafted a visually stunning and emotionally charged interpretation of Macbeth that resonated deeply with audiences. This photograph not only captures a significant moment in theatrical history but also serves as a reminder of the immense talent within African-American communities during this era. It stands as a testament to their resilience and determination in overcoming adversity while making invaluable contributions to art and culture. As we gaze upon this extraordinary piece, we are reminded that great art knows no boundaries – it transcends race, time, and place – leaving an indelible mark on our collective consciousness.
