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, his fearsome mother Volumnia (Roslyn Ruff), and his adversary Aufidius (Mickey Sumner) in a media-saturated world where screen violence meets real bloodshed.
