Archway Theatre (Los Angeles, CA)
Rome’s greatest warrior learns that politics can be deadlier than war in Coriolanus, Shakespeare’s final tragedy — and often considered one of his greatest. A foreign army threatens to invade. Caius Marcius Coriolanus’ pride spurs him to victory in battle, but alienates the common people at home when his victories win him a powerful political office. He finds that winning the people’s affection as a politician is a much more difficult task. Will he break down and compromise to save his own life?
