In this episode, we begin with a news story about archaeologists finding evidence of clothing from 120,000 years ago.
We then get into the episode topic, wherein two actors, American Edwin Forrest and British William Macready, engaged in an absurd competition for stage supremacy. They each catered to a different class of audience, who supported their player in the arena of public opinion, finally culminating in a deadly riot in New York.
