This book is a study of twenty stage productions, adaptations and
screen versions of Shakespeare's final Roman play. It makes
available for the first time sustained discussions of major
productions of the play in four languages and five countries, and
explores how Shakespeare's most political drama has been shaped to
circumstances radically different from its original early modern
staging. The book offers in-depth analyses of Coriolanus
productions covering the post-war era to the twenty-first century,
combining close readings of documents and historical
contextualisation to productions by the BBC, the Berliner Ensemble,
The Katona Jozsef Theatre in communist Hungary, the Royal
Shakespeare Company, Britain's National Theatre, The New York
Shakespeare Festival, Robert Lepage, Shakespeare's Globe Theatre
and Ralph Fiennes' major motion picture. -- .
