A Living Newspaper From 1937!

It’s labor vs. capital in this circus-like living newspaper from the Federal Theater Project. The third in Metropolitan’s jubilant celebration of these social dramas created by the WPA, in the spirit of Power and One Third of a Nation, this time with acrobats, music and clowns!  (Plus a special coda written just for the Metropolitan production, bringing the play into the next century.)
