It's a bit difficult to see their faces, but this is apparently Barry Primus, Barbara Harris and Hal Holbrook in rehearsals for a play by Arthur Miller. It's a dynamic photograph taken during the early stages of the theatrical process.

Would love to know what play this is. "Incident at Vichy," maybe, but I don't remember a woman in the cast (though my memory isn't what it used to be). Clurman was a giant in American Theatre. I took a class with him once years ago. He was fascinating, passionate, and incredibly knowledgeable. Highly recommend two of his books, "On Directing," and "The Fervent years." The latter is about the seminal Group Theatre in the 1930s. He was one of its founders, along with Cheryl Crawford and Lee Strasberg.
