Coriolanus

A famine in Rome among the common people is causing problems for the aristocrats too, including the arrogant Caius Martius, who is particularly despised by people and makes no secret of his own hatred in return.

After earning the honourable title of "Coriolanus", however, Martius decides to seek office, but he soon realises that he will need the support of the people who hate him the most.

One of William Shakespeare’s darker, bloodier, and more disturbing plays, ´Coriolanus´ has been performed by a plethora of wonderful contemporary actors including; Sir Ian McKellan, Morgan Freeman, and Tom Hiddleston.

William Shakespeare (1564-1616) was an English playwright, poet, and actor. Known as ‘The Bard’, he is still regarded as the greatest playwright in the world and the greatest English language writer.

He wrote poems and sonnets, but is probably best known for his comedic, tragic and historical plays such as ‘Hamlet’, ‘Othello’, ‘King Lear’, ‘A Midsummer Night's Dream’, ‘Romeo and Juliet’, and ‘Macbeth’.

Incredibly influential and popular, his works are still performed at the renowned 'Globe Theatre' and the 'Royal Shakespeare Company' in Stratford-upon-Avon, where Shakespeare was born and lived much of his life.
