Robert Lepage will make his Stratford debut directing Coriolanus, featuring André Sills in the title role.
A veteran of the Birmingham Conservatory and four seasons at Stratford, Mr. Sills has been at the Shaw Festival most recently, with leading roles in "Master Harold"... and the Boys and An Octoroon.
The production will also feature Graham Abbey as Tullus Aufidius, Michael Blake as Cominuis, Tom McCamus as Menenius Agrippa, Stephen Ouimette as Junius Brutus, Lucy Peacock as Volumnia and Tom Rooney as Sicinius Velutus. The cast also includes Johnathan Sousa, Emilio Vieira and Brigit Wilson.
This is one of the 200 exceptional projects funded through the Canada Council for the Arts' New Chapter initiative. With this $35-million initiative, the Council supports the creation and sharing of the arts in communities across Canada.
