Theater critic Jacquinn Sinclair recommends productions that take viewers along the winding road to change, and approach old tales with new language and insight.
Though William Shakespeare's"Coriolanus" might not be staged as often as his other classics, it doesn't mean the narrative or the lessons within are less urgent or impactful. Politics and war color this tale about Caius Martius Coriolanus, a general living in Rome during a time when famine ravishes the poor while the elite thrive. As a result of the city’s conditions, the poor revolt against the wealthy patricians.
To placate the plebeians, the aristocrats award them two representatives who sit in the Senate. Meanwhile, war wages on, and Caius shows so much courage and valor that he's urged to run for the highest elected office. Can a man who hates the less fortunate—and is subsequently despised by them—win the people's confidence? Audiences will find out in this new translation of the work by Sean San José with direction from A. Nora Long.
