Coriolanus

Famine threatens the city of Rome and the people’s hunger swells to an appetite for political change. A war hero from a powerful family, Coriolanus seems certain to be elected to the city’s governing Consul, but the people find his pride an unforgivable insult, exploding the long-simmering tensions between the elite few who defend and rule and the deprived masses. A timely portrayal of a fractured state and the ambitions of those causing its demise, Coriolanus is a story of radical class division and a compelling psychological portrait of both the title character himself and his politically savvy mother, Volumnia, played by internationally acclaimed actress, director, and author Tina Packer.
