Coriolanus

October 26, 2023 – November 18, 2023

Shakespeare’s Coriolanus pits a leader whose pride places him so far above his subjects that he can scarcely hide his disdain. When hunger drives the people to sedition, Coriolanus wins back their regard in feats of battle—only to lose their faith and his life. Unbending pride and untrammeled power make a deadly mix in this riveting political tragedy.

"Explosive! This company has clearly grown comfortable working together, and this frees them to add a dangerous edge to scenes so raw you’re not sure where the next blow will come from."

"...the American Shakespeare Center’s Meg Rodgers, one of the finest and most versatile actresses on the American stage. Her Royal Dane is intensely personal, and for that our melancholy prince should be forever grateful." - Andrew Walker White, DC Theater Arts
