Who should lead in a land where the political rules are rapidly shifting and reordering, class revolt is raging, and basic food has become unaffordable? Is there a place for Coriolanus (McKinley Belcher III), a noble war hero and uncompromising aristocrat, both admirable and detestable, who refuses to hide his contempt for the newly empowered plebeian citizens?
Director Ash K. Tata stages Shakespeare’s The Tragedy of Coriolanus incorporating live performance and a media-saturated landscape where the alienation of gaming violence and screen combat are contrasted with the intensity of IRL battles, and the relationship of Volumnia (Roslyn Ruff) and her son Coriolanus gives human shape to the political drama.
