Coriolanus is Shakespeare’s gripping tale of pride, power & politics. 

Celebrated war hero Caius Marcius earns the title Coriolanus after a decisive victory against Rome’s enemies. Urged to enter politics, he seeks high office despite his open contempt for the people whose votes he needs. As rival politicians manipulate public opinion and turn the crowd against him, Coriolanus is cast out of Rome. Humiliated and furious, he plots a devastating revenge against the city he once fought to protect...

Coriolanus is recognized as being Shakespeare's most 'political' play and, although centuries roll by, the business of politics remains largely unchanged. For this reason, we have brought the action into our own time. You may recognize some modern counterparts to Shakespeare's characters. Your role is to be a Roman plebeian - would you vote for Coriolanus?

Join us in your favourite castle or pub garden for one hour of entertainment. We provide basic seating and don't charge for admission; instead we’ll pass our hats round at the end. All profit from this production will be donated to St. Elizabeth Hospice in memory of Steve Chadwick, who was a good friend to many of us and a stalwart member of Circle 67, so please give generously.
