Playbill:TWELFTH NIGHT / RICHARD III, 2014, w/ Mark Rylance, Stephen Fry

Description

Straight from the Globe Theater in London comes this
production
to one
of the oldest
Broadway
theaters, the 1907 Belasco. Mark Rylance and his all-male company duplicated as much stagecraft as possible, including authentic musicians in a wooden gallery
above
the stage and the
traditional jig at the curtain call (but there was a roof and we all had seats!). Rylance shone as Richard III and then Olivia which he won a Tony for, and Stephen Fry was a pompous yet ultimately sympathetic Malvolio. Contains synopses and essays on the production and musicians.
Playbills not only have info on the show on the cover--they also usually contain interviews with top stars, directors and playwrights. Some shows, especially Shakespeare and other plays, will include essays by the producers on their authors, histories and design. You can see what else was on Broadway at the time in the back listings section. Even the ads often feature music and movie stars to appeal to the upscale demographics that usually attends the theater.
All Playbills have been carefully stored in a pet-free, smoking-free home. Like new or very good condition, although a few may show signs of aging especially on covers where white parts can yellow slightly and black parts can smear. No tears or missing staples or pages.
All booklets will be shipped first class with a acid-free backboard in a comics-storage bag. Shipping is free within the U.S. 10% of sales are going to New York Cares, a great charity that is helping us in the city while the entertainment industry is shut down.
