21st Folio Podcast

This is the second part of our discussion of the current 2018 Stratford Festival production of Coriolanus directed by Robert Lepage. In this episode, we discuss how the production approaches the relationships between each of the key characters: Volumnia and Coriolanus, Volumnia and Menenius, Menenius and the Tribunes, Menenius and Coriolanus, and Coriolanus and Aufidius. We also delve deeper into how the design choices for the production affect our interpretation of each of the characters and how they relate to each other.This production runs until October 2018.
