Description

The influential Soviet stage director

Russian theatre director and actor (1874–1940) known for his experimental works and the creation of a new acting system called biomechanics; he was executed for treason after a forced confession. Rare manuscript DS, one page, 6 x 8.75, personal letterhead, December 1, 1930. A brief certificate of commendation, in full [translated]: “Certificate. Margarita Nikolaevna Desire was a dance teacher in High Government directors workshops and showed herself as the pedagogue brilliantly.” Meyerhold signs in black ink at the conclusion. In very good condition, with a slight split along vertical fold. Given his scarcity and distinction as one of the preeminent directors of Russian theater, any autographic material from Meyerhold remains highly sought-after. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
