Time: Just After Now. Setting: Rome and Antium

Who should lead in a land where the political rules are rapidly shifting and reordering, class revolt is raging, and basic food has become unaffordable? Is there a place for Coriolanus, a noble war hero and uncompromising aristocrat, both admirable and detestable, who refuses to hide his contempt for the newly empowered plebeian citizens?

In 2020, during the pandemic, Ash K. Tata created a streaming version of Caryl Churchill’s Mad Forest. Now, Tata stages The Tragedy of Coriolanus incorporating live performance and a media-saturated landscape where the alienation of gaming violence and screen combat are contrasted with the intensity of IRL battles, and the relationship of Volumnia and her son Coriolanus gives human shape to the political drama.

'The Tragedy of Coriolanus' Off-Broadway review — a flashy new production of Shakespeare

From: New York Theatre Guide By: Amelia Merrill Date: 2026-02-14

6 / 10

There are no weak links in the cast, though. Roslyn Ruff’s understated power as Volumnia and Jason O’Connell’s heartbreaking valor as Menenius Agrippa balance the searching pain and sacrifice of Belcher’s title soldier. All too often with Shakespeare, however, the attraction is the lasting power of the unfaltering text. The story and the actors delivering it are reason enough to see this lesser-produced tragedy, but the rest of its trappings amount to spectacle.

Review: The Tragedy of Coriolanus at Theatre for a New Audience

From: Exeunt By: Patrick Maley Date: 2026-02-14

4 / 10

Tata’s production takes three full hours to get through the play, searching for a compelling hook somewhere in the modern setting, but consistently falling short. Belcher’s Coriolanus is precisely as bombastic and aloof as Shakespeare wrote him, which only makes the few glimpses of his humanity seem abrupt and jarring. O’Connell’s sleazy and conniving Menenius is a fun bright spot and the always excellent Ruff shows, with little doubt, why Volumnia is so adept at overpowering the emotions and intellect of her son. But, on the whole, the performances highlight rather than assuage the static nature of these characters.
