Few things capture a stage production like its poster, and this one puts Ralph Richardson's name at the center of the Coronet theater bill for Jean Anouilh's *The Waltz of the Toreadors*. Anouilh wrote the satire in French in 1952, and Lucienne Hill's English version carried its dry comedy of a retired general, his long-suffering wife, and their increasingly absurd household to London audiences. Richardson was known for playing pompous, faintly ridiculous men with great warmth, which made the role of General Saint-Pé a natural fit. Posters like this one show how producers sold a star-driven comedy to the public.
