'Unable to rely on heaven, we look to Shakespeare as a contemporary
conscience' Peter Conrad Coriolanus, a famed warrior turned
politician, is driven from Rome as a traitor when he arrogantly
speaks out against popular rule and loses the good will of the
starving people. Banished and embittered, he allies himself with
his former enemies and begins to plot a merciless revenge on Rome.
Shakespeare's politically ambiguous late tragedy of a great soldier
who fails to be a great leader questions the notion of heroism and
what power really means. Used and Recommended by the National
Theatre General Editor Stanley Wells Edited by G. R. Hibbard
