New page

''[[Gas]]'' is play apparently performed in Johannesburg in 1938, with designs by [[Leo Kerz]]. Most probably directed by him as well, and performed in the [[Pioneer Theatre]], Johannesburg.

The only references to the play found so far are two designs for "Gas" by [[Leo Kerz]], in the Louise Hirschfield collection held in the Harvard Theatre Collection. (Kerz had been Hirschfield's first husband.)

''[[Gas]]'' is probably a staged version of the experimental 1929 play ''[[Gas Masks]]'' by Sergei Eisenstein, originally performed on site in a working gas factory, since the Eisenstein work fits thematically and stylistically with Kerz's own concerns and background at the time. Kerz's designs are of a stylized factory setting.
