Delusions of Grandeur
Cover
The curtain is opening to reveal dilapidated theater that exists in reality.
Then it opens further to reveal the stage and Cathy.
The panels of the cover open even further to reveal the theater as Cathy slips into her delusions.
Finally, the viewer enters the grand theater of Cathy's delusions.
The program cover or stage bill for Delusions of Grandeur uses 18th century fonts (complete with foux hand-setting), typeset borders and is aged about 300 years.

This is the packaging for Cathy Richardson’s 2006 release, “Delusions of Grandeur”. It is a continuation of our effort to revitalize album art, a return to an era of engaging art that gave the visuals to the music. When fully opened, this package is about the same size as a Long Playing album cover. As the cover is opened, it tells the story of Cathy’s delusions of grandeur, a thirteen act semi-autobiographical play. It’s a good old fashioned story that is best experienced while listening to the album. There is also a program to go with the play.
