Nashville Shakespeare Festival - Coriolanus
Fri, 22 Aug 2008 08:45:01 -0700 by NptArts

CORIOLANUS is a play of action before thought. As Shakespeare's final tragedy, it represents the worst in all of us. These Romans don't consider the repercussions of their actions. They are easily swayed and manipulated by public and private opinion. They are petty and ruthless and want what's coming to them. In the midst of them stands Coriolanus, an intensely honorable man with an awe-inspiring military record. Tempered by the searing righteousness of his mother's morality, he is more machine than man. He holds himself to a higher standard and despises all who fall short of his criteria. He is a man of too little education and too much rhetoric. In Shakespearean terms, he is destined to fail. In modern American terms, he is every individual set upon a pedestal for public scrutiny.
