Publisher Summary
 

BBC Radio has a unique heritage when it comes to Shakespeare. Since 1923, when the newly formed company broadcast its first full-length play, generations of actors and producers have honed and perfected the craft of making Shakespeare to be heard.

Coriolanus tells of a proud Roman general who captures the town Corioli but subsequently falls from favour with the Roman people. He allies himself with the Volscians and leads an attack on Rome, but allegiances are won and lost before the final tragic end.

Revitalised, original, and comprehensive, this is Shakespeare for the new millennium.

Review by Bri from Pleasant Grove, UT | 5/25/2011

My first time reading this play. I loved discussing the inconsistencies and binaries present with my ENGL 251 class. Now I'm hankering to see the play live on stage. In the meantime, anyone have a favorite movie version?
