Coriolanus
"Why did you wish me milder? Would you have me
False to my nature? Rather say I play the man I am."

Every evening (except Sunday) at 7.30pm
Downing College Gardens
When civil unrest wracks Rome as the famine-ravaged underclass battle the ruling elite, a war hero steps into the spotlight to serve his nation—only to turn on it and seek its overthrow. Shakespeare’s rarely produced tragedy comes to visceral life in the intimacy of Downing College Gardens in a powerful and enthralling production, revealing Shakespeare’s themes of ambition and delicate democracy that will particularly resonate in our current global political climate.
a gripping, challenging and worthwhile production ...an enthralling and passionate performance... an excellent production
