Theater Beat: Top plays of the season; Mark Rylance in Pittsburgh

Mark Rylance in Pittsburgh. On Thursday at Carnegie Music Hall, the famed actor hosts The 1892 Battle of Homestead. It's the 125th anniversary of that violent attack by Pinkerton guards, hired by Henry Clay Frick and Andrew Carnegie, against locked-out steelworkers. Rylance says the story is "worthy of Shakespeare," and he's trying to work up a play about it.
