WHO DOES THE WOLF LOVE?

Act 2, Scene 1

By William Shakespeare
Director Peter Evans
Composer and Sound Designer Max Lyandvert
With Hazem Shammas, Peter Carroll

One of Shakespeare’s most exhilarating works, Coriolanus is a gripping portrait of a tyrannical mind in the first years of the Roman Republic.

Coriolanus is a ferocious warrior and defender of Rome. But his contempt for the public, and his refusal to play the political game, see him banished from the city he once protected.

When he joins forces with his former enemy to seek vengeance against Rome, the fate of the city, and of Coriolanus himself, hangs in the balance.

For the first time in 30 years Bell Shakespeare presents one of Shakespeare’s most exhilarating political works, in the intimate surrounds of The Neilson Nutshell and the Fairfax Studio.

Directed by Artistic Director Peter Evans, and featuring Hazem Shammas (Macbeth, The Twelve) as the uncompromising soldier/tyrant, this tale of war, power and politics promises to be both thrilling and disturbingly familiar.
