Produktbeschreibung

Macbeth in Harlem tells the story of African American actors, playwrights, directors, and producers who worked to carve out a space for authentic black voices onstage and in every venue from the early 19th century to the dawn of the Civil Rights era. Above all, it is a testament to black artistry thriving in spite of the odds and in the face of the harshest adversity.
