Forrest, Macready, Macbeth dramatizes the infamous 1849 Astor Place Riots, where American tragedian Edwin Forrest and English star William Charles Macready clashed over competing productions of Shakespeare's Macbeth. Part of Oklahoma Shakespeare's Fall Play Reading Series, the performance explores the intersection of art, class, and identity as the actors' personal and nationalistic rivalry spills from the stage into the streets.
