19332559<p>New York: Coward-McCann Inc. 1933. First Edition First Printing. <br /><br />An angry Depression-era play that chronicles the impoverishment of a factory worker's family and shines a spotlight on the corruption of the American financial and political systems. Brooks Atkinson The New York Times theatre critic called the play "a bristling indictment of the American political system." The New York Times January 23 1933 page 9. "We the People" premiered at the Empire Theatre in New York on January 21 1933. Rice himself directed the play which consisted of 20 scenes and featured more than 40 actors. <br /><br />While some critics dismissed the play as left-wing agitprop "We the People" was an important contribution to realism in the American theatre showing how working-class and middle-class people were brutalized and degraded in the Depression years. Rice wrote a number of dramas with left-wing themes and won the Pulitzer Prize in 1929 for Street Scene about New York tenement life.</p><p>PHYSICAL DETAILS: 12mo 7 1/8 x 5 1/8 inches; 191 x 130 mm 253 1 pages orange cloth titles in black to upper board and spine in an unclipped dust jacket.<br /><br />CONDITION: Foxing to page edges light soiling to end papers and a small nick to the top of the upper board.
