In a modern verse

Famine threatens Rome, and hunger fuels the tensions between the country’s elite and the deprived masses. As civil unrest stirs political upheaval, the war hero Coriolanus is driven to defend and destroy his own country. Shakespeare’s rare and unique tragedy will be fueled by a dynamic female and non-binary ensemble and a muscular, movement-focused staging. This modern translation updates the Bard’s language while lifting the story’s core—and reminds us that democracy is fragile and always worth defending.
