National Theatre Live: Coriolanus
Let me have war, say I: it exceeds peace as far as day does night.
Directed by Josie Rourke
Plot
When an old adversary threatens Rome, the city calls once more on her hero and defender: Coriolanus. But he has enemies at home too. Famine threatens the city, the citizens’ hunger swells to an appetite for change, and on returning from the field Coriolanus must confront the march of realpolitik and the voice of an angry people.
