A man named Ken enters an almost empty underground car park at night. He gets into his van and drives up to the barrier, inserting his ticket into the pay and display machine. Having no response, he kicks it, making the lights go off. He pushes the help button, and a strange voice starts tormenting him for what a bad person he actually is.

His ambitious mother attempts to carve him a path to political power, but he struggles to change his nature and do what is required to achieve greatness. In this new city state struggling to find its feet, where the gap between rich and poor is widening every day, Coriolanus must decide who he really is and where his allegiances lie.Rome Season Director, Angus Jackson, completes the Royal Shakespeare Company’s collection of Shakespeare’s Roman plays with a visceral production which sees Sope Dirisu (One Night in Miami, Donmar Warehouse, 2016) take on the title role.
