Coriolanus
By William Shakespeare
Translated by Sean San José
February 17-20 2022, Patrons Theatre, UNC School of the Arts
The production was presented in collaboration with "Play on Shakespeare", a non-profit company creating and promoting contemporary, modern translations of Shakespeare's plays. Coriolanus tells the story of Roman general Caius Marcius who makes his name defeating an enemy army and defending Rome. The Senate nominates him as consul but he cannot win the people's vote, so he is banished from Rome and allies with his old enemy. He comes to attack Rome, his mother persuades him not to, and his new-found ally kills him for the betrayal.
