From the archive: #coriolanus

Three Olympics ago, twelve years ago this week, for the Cultural Olympiad of the London 2012 games…

We realised our very large-scale performance work ‘Coriolan/us’ - a reimagining of Shakespeare’s ‘Coriolanus’ for and as public space, performed in a vast decommissioned WW2 aircraft hangar in South Wales, jointly produced by National Theatre Wales and the Royal Shakespeare Company…

A work that, unfortunately, still feels current…

‘What is the city but the people?’

- Shakespeare’s Coriolanus
