Playbill: THE PRESENT, 2017, w/ Cate Blanchett, Richard Roxburgh

Description

Movie star Cate Blanchett
returned to her roots in Australia--and back to the stage--to star in this never-finished early play by Anton Chekov. It concerns the romantic adventures of the smoldering but unreliable Mikhail Platonov, and has been known variously as PLATONOV, A COUNTRY SCANDAL, and WILD HONEY. Blanchett and Richard Roxburgh (RAKE) lead an all-Australian modern-dress production from the Sydney Theatre Company.
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.
