A scene from the play "War and Play," where three actors are on stage, each dressed in colorful, distinct costumes. On the left, an actor in a blue jumpsuit and black hat stands with one hand on their hip, looking upwards and appearing to sing or speak. In the center, another actor wearing a yellow top with blue embroidery, a green skirt, and yellow tights holds up a bright yellow ball, smiling as they look at it. On the right, the third actor is dressed in a red and white blouse with a red headscarf and a multicolored striped skirt, smiling at the other two. In the background, a clothesline with a gray sweater and black gloves hangs above them, suggesting a domestic or whimsical setting. The overall mood of the scene appears joyful and playful.
