SYNOPSIS:

Famine threatens Rome and hunger fuels the tensions between the country’s elite and the deprived masses. As civil unrest stirs political upheaval, the war hero Coriolanus is driven to defend and then destroy his own country. Shakespeare’s rare and unique tragedy will be fueled by a dynamic female and non-binary ensemble, and a muscular, movement-focused staging. This modern translation updates the Bard’s language while lifting the story’s core — and reminds us that democracy is fragile and always worth defending.



Directed by Rosa Joshi

Featuring Lauren Modica-Soloway, Maria Porter, Betsy Schwartz, Dré Slaman, Jessika D. Williams, Kate Wisniewski, Caro Zeller
