ENCORE EPISODE - Forrest of Philadelphia, Part Three (NEW and IMPROVED!)

A newly-revised and improved edition of our examination of the final two decades that Edwin Forrest spent in Philadelphia - and his lasting legacy in the city.For photographs and additional commentary about this topic, see our website's blog post!https://www.aithpodcast.com/blog/Episode-15-See-The-Players-Well-Bestowed/Note: There is not much here about Edwin Forrest and the Astor Place Riots, which (as I always point out) took place in New York, not Philadelphia. I think Forrest actually had little to do with causing them. For a fuller examination, see Nigel Cliff's book, The Shakespeare Riots. I also highly recommend this episode by New York history podcasters The Bowery Boys!https://www.boweryboyshistory.com/2019/05/the-astor-place-riot-massacre-at-busy.htmlSupport the show"Adventures in Theater History: Philadelphia" the BOOK can be ordered from independent bookstores and at all online book retailers now!
