“Let every feeble rumour shake your hearts.”
Touted as the most brilliant political play ever written, this exploration of what happens to a soldier during peacetime is a powerfully relevant study of the relationship between personality and politics. For his heroism in war, Coriolanus is nominated for the office of Roman consul. Immediately, his opponents seize on his one fatal flaw: his refusal to play the political games demanded by the public of their leaders. The hero becomes a hated outcast – vowing terrible revenge on his own community.
