Показать описание
Warrior. Hero. Traitor.

Unrivalled in the art of war, undefeated on the field of battle, Coriolanus is Rome’s greatest soldier.

When a legendary victory brings the opportunity of high office, he is persuaded to stand for election. But while populist politicians tell the people what they want to hear, Coriolanus refuses to play the game. As Rome’s most celebrated warrior becomes its most dangerous enemy, the future of the city and its hero hang in the balance.

David Oyelowo (Selma, Lawmen: Bass Reeves) makes his highly anticipated return to the London stage in the title role. Lyndsey Turner (Under Milk Wood, The Crucible) directs a thrilling new production of Shakespeare’s timeless political tragedy.

Coriolanus is playing in the Olivier Theatre from 11 September.

Saw the production on Thursday. Very well done. The premise of a haughty soldier & disenchanted masses, swayed by media, is fab!

Great production, cast and set! All played it so well and loved the modern slant on it too!

Saw the Branagh-Dench production at Chichester in the early 90s. My memory of it is mainly blood and red lighting. Would be fun to revisit.

Thrilling. Saw him in NYC a while ago as Othello, another flawed, magnetic soldier.
