About The Tragedy of Coriolanus
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.

Really great acting by the mother and the senator - very interesting sexual dynamics w the mother and the enemy — thought provoking
Corolianus is a precise leader but an untheatrical politician, which leads to conflict with the democratic body politic.
Set in a dystopian Rome, this tragedy follows a brilliant but arrogant aristocratic general whose public flaw ignites conflict between Plebeians & Patricians, ultimately leading to his banishment & downfall. The story unfolds in a futuristic world & features a powerful cast, led by McKinley Betcher III and Rosalyn Ruff as Volumnia. "Corlanus" invites reflection on leadership & democracy--or the lack thereof--making it a strikingly relevant work even today.
