Plot:
Although renowned as a fearless military leader, Caius Martius is unpopular among the plebeians, the common people of Rome, who resent his arrogance and equate him with the patrician elite whom they believe to be responsible for the current food shortage. Martius in turn despises the plebeians as cowardly, fickle and untrustworthy. For his extraordinary heroism in defeating the Volsces, enemies of Rome, and capturing the Volscian city of Corioles, Martius is honored with the name of Coriolanus; he is also prevailed upon by his friends, and by his strong-willed mother, to run for consul, Rome's highest public office. But the warrior is no politician - and he faces unaccustomed enemies in the form of two tribunes of the people, Sicinius Velutus and Junius Brutus, who fan the flames of populism against him, with catastrophic results.

Some highlighted notes from the orginal production:
"Staged at the Stratford Festival and named on many 2018 year-end critics “best of” lists, the Stratford Festival’s “riveting” and “exhilarating” (The New York Times) production of Shakespeare’s Coriolanus, has been called “the show of the decade… a landmark production for the Stratford Festival. Maybe for William Shakespeare, too” (The Globe and Mail), and “the greatest contemporary staging of this play that I have ever seen” (Chicago Tribune).
"The production is directed by genre-defying theatre artist Robert Lepage and stars André Sills, “a magnetic and imposing actor” (The New York Times), with a stellar cast delivering “performances that send shivers down the spine” (The Globe and Mail). Lepage takes the story of the rise and fall of a legendary general who must face off against the angry Roman mob and infuses it with the energy of Occupy Wall Street and the Arab Spring.
My notes
Robert Lepage is also featured in the documentary "Wagner's Dream" which I have in this fileshare group. It documents the monumental and innovative production Lepage made for the Met Opera Ring Cycle.
I saw the Stratford Festival Coriolanus on the free presentation streamed during May 2020. Many of the plays released as live on film to movie theatres are now being brought as fund raisers to the public during the world pandemic. Donate what you can. But these fileshares are for the wider world audience who either do not have access to the likes of Youtube or, indeed, find that viewing the play may have dropout interruptions. Please see the full list of plays I have recoded for more. And those with capture capability I appreciate your joining the effort.
Also a note of thanks to the coder who made the add-on to my browser to be able to download the subtitles in the correct format. It was a welcome discovery.
