A FULL-THROTTLE war play that revels in the sweat of the battlefield, the Royal Shakespeare Company Live’s production of Coriolanus transports us back to the emergence of the republic of Rome screening live at Theatr Mwldan on Wednesday, October 11 at 7pm.
Caius Martius Coriolanus is a fearless soldier but a reluctant leader. His ambitious mother attempts to carve him a path to political power, but he struggles to change his nature and do what is required to achieve greatness.
In this new city state struggling to find its feet, where the gap between rich and poor is widening every day, Coriolanus must decide who he really is and where his allegiances lie.
Rome season director, Angus Jackson, completes the Royal Shakespeare Company’s collection of Shakespeare’s Roman plays with a visceral production which sees Sope Dirisu (One Night in Miami, Donmar Warehouse, 2016) take on the title role.
Tickets for RSC productions are £12.50 (£11.50) and are available now from Theatr Mwldan’s box office on 01239 621200, online at www.mwldan.co.uk or via the new MWLDAN app
