About this listen
Edwin "Ned" Forrest came from humble beginnings to become a megastar of the American stage by the 1820s. Heroic, demonstrative, and patriotic, he is the darling of Bowery B'hoys' subculture. Over time, Forrest grows to resent William Charles Macready, a British actor who rises to eminence for a naturalistic style. New York's wealthier classes love Macready. Forrest imagines the Brit is conspiring against him. Charges are made! Hisses are hissed! Sheep carcasses are thrown!
