Rome: Comune di Roma 1979. Vintage poster for an Italian staging of the 1974 groundbreaking American experimental theatre production. Staged in Rome at the Teatro Alberico circa 1979.<br /> <br /> Founded in 1947 in New York by Julian Beck and Judith Malina The Living Theatre is the oldest active experimental theater group in the United States. In the fifties and sixties the company became an epicenter for revolutionary culture performing both original and repertory works.<br /> <br /> "Seven Meditations" was largely written in response to the imprisonment of several members of the company under the Medici dictatorship in Brazil in 1971 drawing on their experiences of suppression and torture in the Brazilian prison system. The show addressed seven different types of actions relationships or statements governed by power including sexuality capitalism private property and law enforcement and attempted to begin a dialogue with audience members regarding ways to move forward from these dynamics. <br /> <br /> As with many of the group's performances "Seven Meditations" proved controversial and even courted obscenity charges largely due to a section of the show depicting a simulated torture scene-as shown in the poster on offer.<br /> <br /> 39 x 55 inches.

Large double atlas folio dual-sided broadside printed on newsprint sized 9.25 x 42 in. photo & woodcut engraving illustrations recto & verso toning to paper some chipping & edgewear paper repairs to closed tears still a G- copy. First edition thus of this advertising broadside for Erickson’s “J.W. Johnson’s Old Reliable Virginia Minstrels World’s best colored show. . . “ which touts their supposed 15 year history and appear to have either been reformed from the “Alabama Minstrels†show which played throughout the West and Midwest from 1905-1914 or simply taken over some of their acts. The contortionist fire king Hi Henry Hunt who appears in this broadside regularly performed with the “Alabama Minstrels†from 1905-1913. The silver voiced tenor A.J. McFarland and Grace Arniot Royal Entertainer depicted on the broadside also appear to have been African-American rather than black face performers. The name appears to have been drawn from the 19th-Century original “Virginia Minstrels†or the “Melodious Ethiopian Band†which featured Billy Whitlokc Dick Pelham Frank Brower and Dan Emmett performing in New York’s Bowery Amphitheater in 1843 and launched the minstrelsy form of entertainment. Emmett is perhaps best remembered as the author of “Dixie†which ironically would become the Confederate States unofficial anthem.

[THEATRE ROYAL DRURY LANE]
New Theatre Royal Drury Lane. This Evening Wednesday June 81825 His Majesty's Servants will perform for the 9th time a new Historical Play called william tell. With new scenery dresses and decorations The interspersed Music composed by Mr. H. R. Bishop
London: s.n. 1825. Single leaf broadside. Two small marginal holes to left hand edge. An early playbill marking the ninth performance of Irish dramatist James Sheridan Knowles' 1784-1862 adaptation of Schiller's famous revolutionary Swiss drama William Tell. First staged at Drury Lane on the 11th May Knowles' translation was criticised by Thomas Rea for its excessive melodrama making the hero 'so loquacious as to seem almost a braggart.' Despite this the performance of William Macready in the title role was much applauded and Thomas Archer was suitably despicable as the villainous character of Gesler. The first adaptation of William Tell performed in England was staged at the Royal Amphitheatre on 7th June 1802 with Knowles' version being the second produced in 1825; the first - and a more critically acclaimed - full English translation had been produced by Samuel Robinson only months prior. The subsequent evening entertainment is advertised as the sixtieth showing of Der Freischütz the Romantic opera by Carl Maria von Weber 1786-1826. . Dimensions 204 x 350 mm. [s.n.] unknown

Blanchard's 1820-1889 comic pantomime Little Jack Horner or Harlequin A. B. C. and the Enchanted Regions of Nursery Rhymes! The bill rather verbosely described the pantomime as 'Allegorical Beautiful Comical Diverting Educational Fanciful Gorgeous Hyperbolical Intellectual Jovial Keen Laughable Merry Novel Original Peculiar Quizzical Romantic Splendid Transcendent Unobjectionable Volatile Waggish Extravagant Youthful and Zigzaggy'. In the pantomime an entreaty to literacy and knowledge Intelligence sends Proverb to help Jack Horner with his studies Jack fends off Ignorance with the Sword of Perseverance and sent to a 'Fairy Aquarium' with a coral palace to see what can be achieved by Imagination. The spectacular visual scenery provided by William Beverley in particular the 'Fairy Aquarium' was universally praised; indeed even the The Times who dismissed Blanchard's efforts stating that 'People do not expect to be edified and instructed at a pantomime' were effusive in their praise: 'As its wonders gradually revealed themselves and the circumambient air no less than terra firma became peopled with floating nymphs and soaring fairies the applause was vociferous and continuous and a summons first for Mr E. T. Smith the manager and next for Mr Beverley the artist presented the climax of excitement'. . Dimensions 500 x 510 mm. Printed by J. W. Peel unknown

Though apparently unrelated to any of the performances staged on 2nd February this elaborate panorama was produced by the Scottish artist and noted scene painter David Roberts 1796-1864 and clearly a significant enough draw to London audiences to be noted in the billing. .
