Synopsis:
A
contemporary version of Shakespeare's dangerous political thriller.
The citizens of Rome are hungry. Coriolanus, the hero of Rome,
a great soldier and a man of inflexible self-belief despises the
people. His extreme views ignite a mass riot. Rome is bloody.
Manipulated and out-manoeuvred by politicians and even his own
mother Volumnia, Coriolanus is banished from Rome. He offers his
life or his services to his sworn enemy Tullus Aufidius. Coriolanus
and Aufidius march on Rome intending to destroy the city. Volumnia
appeals to her son. He tries to reject her but eventually breaks.
Aufidius, feeling bitterly betrayed, brutally murders Coriolanus. |
