When an old adversary threatens Rome, the city calls once more on her hero and defender: Coriolanus. But famine threatens the city, the citizens’ hunger swells to an appetite for change, and on returning from the field, Coriolanus must confront the march of realpolitik and the voice of an angry people.

This is one of Shakespeare’s last tragedies, best known for its political and military themes. Shakespeare’s searing play of political manipulation and revenge is here abridged. This version was first produced at the Donmar Warehouse, London, directed by Josie Rourke and featured Tom Hiddleston in the title role.

The script has been edited and abridged by Rob Hastie and Josie Rourke.
