Coriolanus

Why did we not read this Shakespearean play in school? How was it that I showed up at the Globe knowing nothing but that it took place in Rome and stood around about 30 minutes waiting for some character named Coriolanus to appear?

This is a really good play. This should be a must read play.

Maybe it's not as exciting read, but what an amazing production the Globe has put on. And what a dynamic and lovable tragic hero "Coriolanus" is. Jonathan Cake breathed such a soulful life into this vehicle role. But the entire ensemble was a true ensemble - it was no stronger than its weakest link, and its weakest link was pretty damn strong.

If I had more money & time, I could easily see this one over and over again and not get tired of it.

It makes me wish I had my Shakespeare collection with me, because I'd start reading it right now.
