For #MKMonday, here's a 1979 poster for a production of 'The Dalkey Archive', performed by Hull Truck Theatre Company. This is a great poster, and also an accurate depiction of how conservators look after a long day of bookbinding.

A photo of a poster on a wooden archive table. The poster is for 'The Dalkey Archive', originally written by Flann O'Brien. The poster shows an illustration of a spindly, balding man sewing a patch onto his clothing. In the background, a pot boils on the stove. The text lists the person who adapted it to the stage (Allan McClelland), the director (Mike Bradwell) and the designer (Gemma Jackson). The text at the bottom of the image is printed, showing that it was performed at the Jennie Lee Theatre, Bletchley Leisure Centre from the 30th of January to the 3rd of February in 1979. At the top of the image it shows the production company, Hull Truck Theatre.

Hoping to be alliterative, here's the poster for the 1979 Mr Magic's Million Mysteries Show for #MKMonday. We can't imagine Mr Magic was able to show a million mysteries as part of the run time, but maybe we're mistaken.

A blue and red poster for ‘Mr Magic’s Million Mysteries Show’, by Andrew Manley & Jennifer Granville. The poster shows the logo of the EMMA theatre company and an illustration of a magician with a top hat, curled moustache, and a baton. A small section has been glued onto the poster showing the specific dates (20th December 1979 – 5th January 1980) and the ticket price of 50p. The logo for East Midlands Arts is at the bottom of the image.

A post for 'Murder at Checkmate Manor', presented by Entertainment Machine. The poster features four women standing on a chessboard, one drinking poison, another with a gun pointing at another, another with a noose and a bomb, and one pointing two revolvers at her head. All have ecstatic grins.
