193711767New York: M. Horowitz 1937. Quarto. Original pictorial wrappers; 14pp. Trivial external wear; Near Fine. Rather elaborate pictorial program for the 1937 season of Jack Kirkland's "Tobacco Road" for which Henry Hull reprised the role of Lester Jeeter which he had created three years earlier. Copiously illustrated with stills from the production and reproducing the text of two New York Daily News editorials praising the play's realistic depiction of farm tenancy in the South. Described by critic Gerald Weales as "the" quintessential play of the 1930s "Tobacco Road" opened in 1934 to uniformly poor critical notices; the show nearly closed in its opening weeks then gained steam as Henry Hull's classic portrayal of the lazy ignorant sharecropper Jeeter became a word-of-mouth cause celebre. In the end "Tobacco Road" became one of the most talked-about plays of the Great Depression finally finishing its run in 1941 after nearly 3200 performances. M. Horowitz unknown books

SIGNED by Arnold Wesker on the title page and dated 12 June 78. A collection of prose pieces by the British playwright 1932-2016 including short stories a play for television and a diary written for Swedish radio just before Wesker went to Stockholm to direct the world premiere of "The Friends."

He also tangled at times with the British theatre establishment which he accused of anti-Semitism. Copies of this book are uncommon in the market and signed copies even more so.
