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.

FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Coriolanus

Review: Coriolanus as a Spectator Sport—Bring On the Jumbotron

From: TheaterMania By: Pete Hempstead Date: 2026-02-14

5 / 10

Blame my ever-diminishing attention span, but I quickly lost interest in Tata’s techno-extratextual commentary on Coriolanus, now running at Theater for a New Audience’s home, the Polonsky Shakespeare Center. I get it, to an extent: it’s impossible to divorce our consumption of politics and civil unrest from the technology we’ve plugged into our brains. But with performances as strong as the ones we get from this cast, I would have welcomed the chance to unplug.

The Tragedy of Coriolanus: Much Ado About Multimedia

From: New York Stage Review By: Michael Sommers Date: 2026-02-14

4 / 10

Generally, the acting proves spotty. Possibly that thudding, bass-heavy sound design by Brandon Keith Bulls, icy music by David T. Little and an intermittent yellowish atmospheric haze undermines performances. A less than charismatic McKinley Belcher III is a handsome though mostly stolid Coriolanus; speaking the blank verse, he tends to hit the cadences hard. The greater disappointment is the director’s slack, unimaginative shaping of the crucial scenes involving those so-swayable Roman people, who collectively become the drama’s motivating force. Clad in East Village mufti, they’re noisy but scarcely suggest a dangerous Roman mob. Perhaps it would have been wiser to invest more in additional actors and their rehearsal than in tech.
