Lotte Lenya, who was in the 1937 production. Carl Van Vechten

The Eternal Road took place in an unidentified country in Europe during a nonspecific era of perhaps the seventeenth century. But clearly the work was designed to comment on the current political scene in Germany, and as such it resonated with the theatergoers of 1937, who supported the production for almost five months.
