Two-color poster advertising V. R. Lang's production; Gorey has contributed an eerie and appropriate image of a vaudeville dancer in fishnet tights and capacious overcoat seated in front of a fire exit door. The Poets' Theatre was founded by a group of poets living in Cambridge in the fall of 1950. The cohort included Gorey, Lang, Donald Hall, Frank O'Hara, John Ciardi, John Ashbery, and others who had graduated from Havard College or would soon do so (Lang being the exception). Productions were performed at the Brattle Theatre; this particular poetic drama ran for one week. A very scarce example of Gorey's early work and a demonstration of his persistent interest in the theatre. Scant pale motes of foxing, else fine. Not inspected outside frame, which measures 18 1/4 by 14 1/4 in.
