Theatre Royal Bath poster is a 1983 by The Drawing Room, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This poster shows a wide-eyed person dressed in a patchwork coat made of empty cans. Their arms are outstretched, and the background is bold red with white text shouting "CAN'T PAY? WON'T PAY!" The cans are arranged like scales or a quilt, with some spilling out at the bottom. The text names it a "farce" by Dario Fo, a play about money struggles. The design mixes humor with urgency, using everyday objects to make a point. Check out The Drawing Room to see more of their bold, playful poster work.
