Description: Willson Whitman BREAD AND CIRCUSES. New York; Oxford University Press. 1937. Of all the numerous Government projects for relief and recovery, perhaps none has achieved the publicity of Federal Theatre. Twenty million people compose its eager audience; its playwrights range from classic Marlowe and Shakespeare to current Lewis and Shaw; its chorus come from the company of the great Sarah Bernhardt and from the neighborhood boy’s club of the Los Angeles slums. Nothing completely like it has ever been seen before. Willson Whitman has sorted the tangled streamers of truth, theory, and fancy, and simple red tape, and she has woven the remains honest threads into this authentic story of Federal Theatre, its aims and achievements, its failures and its future. Miss Whitman has never had an personal connection with the WPA, and writes entirely as an impoartial observer.
