Written on verso: "The Marriage of Mr. Mississippi; Jan. '62." Photograph shows students from the San Jose State College Speech and Drama department performing on stage. The Marriage of Mr. Mississippi is a play by Friedrich Dürrenmatt. The Marriage of Mr. Mississippi, was written in an “open” parable in the Brechtian tradition, witty and brimming with puns and grotesque effects (a visual expression of a chaotic world), meant to challenge audiences to re-think reality along the lines of an anti-mimetic counter-conception to the miserable real world of Cold War and ideological strife. Scanned with Microtek Scanmaker 1000XL Pro; as a 600 dpi TIFF image in 8-bit Grayscale. Auto Level image processing applied and compressed into JPEG format using Photoshop CS3.
