Part of: Magic Theatre Records
A black-and-white promotional poster for a theatrical production is set against a black background. The poster features a large, vertical rectangular image in the center showing a man and a woman in a close embrace; the man is in a dark suit and the woman wears a sleeveless dress. Above this photograph, white text reads, "MAGIC THEATRE," followed by "John Lion, General Director" and "Martin Esslin, Dramaturg." Below this, it states, "Presents the World Premiere of FOOL FOR LOVE," with the title in a large, bold, sans-serif font. Further text indicates the play was "Written and Directed by SAM SHEPARD" and lists cast members Kathy Baker, Ed Harris, Dennis Ludlow, and Will Marchetti. Production credits for set, light, costume, and sound design are also listed. At the bottom, the dates "February 9 – March 27, 1983" are displayed alongside ticket information for the Magic Theatre at Fort Mason Center, San Francisco. To the right of the central photograph, a vertical color calibration strip and a grayscale step wedge are visible.
