In 1936 Orson Welles staged an all black production of Macbeth in Harlem, a groundbreaking endeavour for the time. The play, which became known as Voodoo Macbeth was so popular that the crowds on opening night stretched for more than five blocks. Welles called it his life's greatest achievement.3yr ⋅ idledebonair ⋅ r/Theatre
