The day after what was already being called "The Massacre Place" riots, people in New York City were mad as hell and nervous as hell. City elites and authorities convened juries and extracted verdicts with lightning speed. It seemed like civil war would break out in Manhattan. All this, plus: Mary does some great imitations, while Andy does a cringe-tastic take on Butt-Head. Join us as we do the aftermath of the deadly As...
Talked into continuing his run of the Scottish Play by kid-gloved New Yorkers, William Charles Macready and his fellow thespians manage a remarkable rendering of Shakespeare—sometimes in mime—as rowdies loyal to Ned Forrest try to shut the whole damn thing down. Things get ugly. Then they get uglier. Then the army decides it's time to enter the fray. When has this ever worked out well?
British actor William Charles Macready inks a deal to do Macbeth at the Astor Place Opera House. It gets off to a rocky, smelly start. He's not sure what to do. Meanwhile, a buncha Bowery B'Hoys try to lay their mitts on some muskets, while Washington Irving undertakes verily to crush "the mob." And gee, book titles were so very loooooooooooong back then.

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 hi...
"Feel Familiar? Emotionally Intelligent History" explores crucial, though sometimes overlooked, people and events from the past to gain a better understanding of current events. It links macro-level developments in politics and society to relatable, individual feelings and thoughts. Season One focuses on the Astor Place Theatre Riot of 1849 in which two groups—those supporting "patriotic" American-born actor Edw...
New York City in the 1840s is a vital, bustling, and deeply divided place. Cultural and political beliefs related to race, gender, and class animate different groups to hate certain celebrities and worship others. The nativist Bowery B'hoys love an actor named Edwin "Ned" Forrest, while the kid-gloved "Upper Ten" worship British tragedian William Charles Macready. Neither group is as noble as it would like ...

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
