Coriolanus

When an old adversary threatens Rome, the city calls once more on her hero and defender Coriolanus. But he has enemies at home too. Famine threatens the city, the citizens’ hunger swell to an appetite for revolution, and on returning from the battlefield, Coriolanus must confront the arching conflict of tradition, ceremony and the voice of an angry people.

Shakespeare’s searing tragedy of political manipulation and revenge is put under the lens in this subversive interpretation.
