Time: Just After Now. Setting: Rome and Antium

When the political landscape rapidly shifts, food becomes unaffordable, and class revolt erupts, who should lead?

Is there a place for Coriolanus (McKinley Belcher III)—a celebrated war hero and uncompromising aristocrat who refuses to hide his contempt for the newly empowered plebeian citizens?

The Tragedy of Coriolanus, directed by Ash K. Tata in their Off-Broadway debut, places Coriolanus and his fearsome mother Volumnia (Roslyn Ruff) in a media-saturated world where screen violence meets real bloodshed.

Company: Barzin Akhavan (Cominius), Kevin Alicea (Adrian), McKinley Belcher III (Caius Martius Coriolanus), Jack Berenholtz (Nicanor), William DeMeritt (Sicinius Velutus), Meredith Garretson (Virgilia), Pomme Koch (Senator/Lieutenant/Aedile), Merlin McCormick (Young Martius), Jason O’Connell (Menenius Agrippa), Emma Ramos (Valeria), Roslyn Ruff (Volumnia), Mickey Sumner (Tullus Aufidius), Zuzanna Szadkowski (Junius Brutus), Sarin Monae West (Titus Lartius).
