Product Description
1935. Franklin D. Roosevelt is under pressure to combat the skyrocketing levels of unemployment in post-war America. He announces a sweeping range of revolutionary initiatives, known collectively as the New Deal. Among these initiatives is a landmark programme designed to bring innovative, experimental theatre to the American masses. The Federal Theatre Project staged critically acclaimed and wildly popular productions across America - including Orson Welles' directorial debut, a landmark early modern dance programme, and shows that sought to tell the truth about racism, poverty and the rising tides of fascism. From one of the world's great storytellers, 'Playbook' is an invigorating re-enactment of a terrifyingly prescient moment in 20th-century American cultural history, the dimensions of which echo through every democracy today.
