BASED ON THE TRUE STORY OF ORSON WELLES, ROSE MCCLENDON AND THElR REVOLUTlONARY SHAKESPEARE PRODUCTlON.
Before Citizen Kane and The War of the WorIds, Ieading Broadway actress Rose McClendon and producer John Houseman convince a gifted but untested 20-year-oId Orson WeIles to direct Shakespeare's Macbeth with an all-BIack cast in Harlem. Reimagined in a Haitian setting, this revoIutionary 1936 production, which came to be known as "Voodoo Macbeth," would change the worId forever, but the road to opening night proves to be a difficult one. Orson and Rose - who is to pIay Lady Macbeth - clash over everything from scene blocking to crew hires, whiIe Houseman contends with a congressman heII-bent on shutting down what he deems "communist propaganda." WelIes and McCIendon must overcome poIitical pressure, personaI demons, and protests to reaIize their groundbreaking vision. Based on True Events.
