Coriolanus
Translated by Sean San José
Directed by Evren Odcikin
In co-production with Play On Shakespeare
Sean San José's urgent, modern-verse translation of William Shakespeare’s Coriolanus is a blistering exploration of political warfare, populism, and the fragility of democracy. Commissioned by Play On Shakespeare, this sharp adaptation strips away archaic phrasing to deliver an accessible, fast-paced political thriller spoken directly to our current era. Through highly kinetic staging and a diverse ensemble, this gripping production highlights the explosive friction between a rigid elite and a marginalized public. Subscribe now to witness a classic epic reframed as a vital, contemporary battle for the soul of a community.
