Description
Coriolanus by William Shakespeare In this searing tragedy, Shakespeare explores the complexities of power and politics. When an old adversary threatens Rome, its hero and defender, Coriolanus, is called upon once more. However, as famine grips the city and citizens' hunger grows, they begin to demand change. As Coriolanus returns from the field, he must confront the harsh realities of realpolitik and the voice of an angry people. This play, one of Shakespeare's last tragedies, delves into the darker aspects of human nature and the consequences of unchecked ambition. First performed at the Donmar Warehouse, London, this abridged version brings the script to life with a focus on political manipulation and revenge.
