About the Show

What is the city, but the people? As an emerging Rome struggles with deepening divisions between rich and poor, the celebrated general Caius Martius Coriolanus returns victorious from war, only to find himself ensnared in the treacherous world of Roman politics. Unrivaled on the battlefield but untested in politics, he is urged to seize power by both his ambitious mother and the common people. As his unyielding nature clashes with the demands of the people, he is cast out—betrayed by the very city he fought to defend. Consumed by fury and vengeance, he forges a dangerous alliance with his former enemy, setting the stage for a reckoning that will shake Rome to its core. A raw and relentless exploration of power, pride, and betrayal, Foolish brings Shakespeare’s searing political tragedy to life in a bold, high-stakes production. Will Rome’s greatest warrior become its most dangerous threat?
