#coriolanus

A performance work created as a public space, at the scale of public space… the hangar floor was 90m x 50m… at the time I described the place as ‘a landscape with a lid’…

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
