The Shakespeare Riot

from A Twist of History · host Ballen Studios

New York City in the mid 1800s was run by violent gangs, corrupt politicians, and grifting opportunists who operated with no fear of punishment. It was like a powder keg ready to blow, and all it took to light the fuse, and change the future of law enforcement, was a performance of Shakespeare. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
