Shakespeare’s Election of Coriolanus
You may not be familiar with Coriolanus, but now is a good time to be. Shakespeare’s superior political play was created while London’s playhouses were shut down, while the starving workers were rising in protest against the land-owners, and after his mother died.  He chose the age of Rome through which to examine abuses of elected leaders, the exercise of basic civil liberties, and shifting systems of government. A thinly-veiled form of Democracy and a shocking political election at the play’s center launch a story short on poetry but long on freedom – of the heart, of the people, and of their leadership.  Curated by Dan McCleary.
