The play follows Coriolanus, a noble war hero and uncompromising aristocrat, both admirable and detestable, who refuses to hide his contempt for the newly empowered plebeian citizens, asking: who should lead in a land where the political rules are rapidly shifting and reordering, class revolt is raging, and basic food has become unaffordable? Is there a place for Coriolanus?

The cast will be led by McKinley Belcher III in the title role, Mickey Sumner as Aufidius, and Roslyn Ruff as Volumnia. They will be joined onstage by Barzin Akhavan as Cominius, Kevin Alicea as Adrian, Jack Berenholtz as Nicanor, William DeMerritt as Sicinius Velutus, Meredith Garretson as Virgilia, Pomme Koch as Senator/ Lieutenant/Aedile, Merlin McCormick as Young Martius, Jason O'Connell as Menenius Agrippa, Emma Ramos as Valeria, Zuzanna Szadkowski as Junius Brutus, and Sarin Monae West as Titus Lartius.

The creative team will include scenic designer Afsoon Pajoufar, costume designer Avery Reed, lighting designer Masha Tsimring, sound designer Brandon Bulls, composer David T. Little, projection designers Lisa Renkel and POSSIBLE, fight choreographer J. David Brimmer, movement director Dan Safer, voice director Andrew Wade, properties supervisor Sean Frank, production dramaturg Jonathan Kalb, and production stage manager Charlie Lovejoy.
