I removed the below Further reading section from the article (originally added as a pretty spammy External links entry). Both Further reading and External links are for high-value additional reading on the article's subject, and a book that hasn't even been published yet cannot possibly have been assessed by that criteria. If anyone is so inclined, I would suggest waiting until the book is actually published and then to assess whether it adds something to the article (above what would be in the article if it were brought to featured level, but can't for whatever reason actually be covered in the article itself). The bit in question is:

Maugerite Rippy, "Black Cast Conjures White Genius: Unraveling the Mystique of Orson Welles’s “Voodoo” Macbeth", in Weyward Macbeth: Intersections of Race and Performance, ed. Scott L. Newstok and Ayanna Thompson (forthcoming from Macmillan, 2010). An essay on Welles' FTP production and its lasting influence on other versions of Shakespeare's play; a photo from the 1936 Harlem premiere is on the cover of the volume.

I'm moving this here for easy reference if someone wants to move it back in later. --Xover (talk) 05:27, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The book was published in 2010 and it looks good. It is a collection of articles including the one mentioned above. Several of them look like useful sourcing for the wiki article. 67.164.113.165 (talk) 03:21, 17 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thomson

Someone familiar with this entry may want to add Virgil Thomson's role in the production. I believe he composed incidental music for it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.11.178.68 (talk) 07:01, 17 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Might be able to use something from that. It also cites a writeup by Jean Cocteau that is probably worth using. 173.228.123.166 (talk) 00:06, 13 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Four professionals

The assertion that only four of the actors were professionals is contrary to fact. Walter Brogsdale (Draft:Walter Brogsdale) and Lawrence Chenault both had long and impressive careers on stage and screen. FloridaArmy (talk) 18:29, 16 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
