Coriolanus Ushers in Another Opening for Shakespeare in the Park
Coriolanus celebrated its opening at the Delacorte Theater last night, continuing the Public Theater's summer season of free Shakespeare in the Park.
The production is described as follows: "Coriolanus, the Bard's blistering drama about a general voted into power by a populace hungry for change, and the unraveling that follows, returns for the first time since 1979. Daniel Sullivan directs a modern-day version of this riveting epic of democracy and demagoguery." Performances are set to run through August 11.
Take a look below at photos from the opening-night festivities.
