Oklahoma Shakespeare in the Park presents: “Forrest, Macready, Macbeth”

About this event

Don’t miss a dramatic performance when Oklahoma Shakespeare in the Park presents a staged reading of “Forrest, Macready, Macbeth” this October. “Forrest, Macready, Macbeth” dramatizes the infamous Astor Place Riots of 1849, when American tragedian Edwin Forrest and English star William Charles Macready clashed over Shakespeare’s “Macbeth” — and New York audiences turned the theater into a battlefield. As Forrest and Macready clash, the rivalry spills beyond the stage into the streets. Join Oklahoma Shakespeare in the Park for this electrifying journey into history, where the stage and the street collide, and the timeless questions of ambition, identity, and power echo as loudly as Macbeth’s own.
