Coriolanus has always attracted strong interest, whether seen as
the last of Shakespeare's tragedies, or as his most political play.
In performance it has been constantly reinterpreted and has often
strayed far from Shakespeare's text. The Royal Shakespeare Company
production, mounted by Terry Hands with Alan Howard in the title
role, was acclaimed by audiences and critics in Stratford and
London for its forcefulness and fidelity to Shakespeare's play.
David Daniell accompanied the Company on its subsequent tour in
Europe where audiences were stimulated by this powerful production
of a play that has a startling European history of heavy political
adaptation. Living closely with the Company, David Daniell gained a
remarkable standpoint for approaching the play and its performance
as well as for drawing a fascinating account of a great theatre
company on the move. His interpretation of the play and theatrical
technique draws extensively on the experiences of the actors, other
members of the company and its European hosts, audiences and
critics. Coriolanus in Europe provides some penetrating insights
into the problems and achievements of present-day theatre in
general and of one outstanding Company in particular.
