About this title: Coriolanus is perhaps the most brillant political play ever written. Though it is set in Ancient Rome, it has proved itself over the centuries as a perennially relevant study of the relationship between personality and politics.

"A study in the arrogance of politicians and loyalty to country, amongst other things. Why do we elect those we elect, and what do they fake to get our vote? A fascinating play."
