This looks
awesome
..I remember finding Coriolanus to be ceaselessly dull and plodding when I last read it in university, but upon reflection that may have been the fault of the professor. I shall dig it out and go through it again in anticipation of this, which looks great!
And it was great. There is some heavy speech making, which I was struggling to follow at times (reading the play beforehand would have been a big help I think) but the fighting is brutal, the transfer to a modern setting is cleverly handled, the politics are relevant, the central relationship between mother and son is creepy, and the climax is…well, Shakespearean.
