UC Irvine Drama Presents a Dystopic Visioning of Shakespeare’s Roman War Tale CORIOLANUS

UC Irvine’s Claire Trevor School of the Arts Department of Drama presents its first offering of 2017, Shakespeare’s classic military tragedy based on the life of legendary Roman leader Caius Marcius Coriolanus. UCI Drama’s current season explores xenophobia in its various forms, and perhaps there is no greater manifestation of pitting “us” against “them” than the intercultural alienation that culminates in war.
