The Tragedy of Coriolanus

Heightened Play (1608)

Written by William Shakespeare 

Roman general Coriolanus makes his name defeating an enemy army and defending Rome. The Senate nominates him as consul but he cannot win the people's vote, so he is banished from Rome and allies with his old enemy. He comes to attack Rome, his mother persuades him not to, and his new-found ally kills him for the betrayal.

This adaptation of Coriolanus is inspired by contemporary political events and people with modern and futuristic flare.
