Good Communists


 

There is a stamp on the back, most of which can still be read despite a certain amount of fading.  "Wolfgang Swietek Theaterfotograft, 7033 Leipzig 33, Wilhelm Liebknecht Platz 14"  And the rest has faded into oblivion though at least some of it is a phone number of some kind.  

So, Leipzig was the second largest city in the former East Germany, and Wilhelm Liebknecht was a German revolutionary and one of the founders of the German socialist party so pretty much a hero to East German communists.  I'd love to know what play these two actors are appearing in.  Something revolutionary I'd bet.  Either that or a silly, meaningless comedy.  Even communists love a good laugh now and again.
