The Tragedy of Coriolanus
In Shakespeare's political tragedy, which has been enjoying something of a renaissance lately, the hoi polloi of ancient Rome turn against an arrogant war hero (and lifelong mama's boy) when he refuses to show off his scars in the traditional manner. McKinley Belcher III plays the titular general, Roslyn Ruff is his domineering mater and Mickey Sumner is his Volscian nemesis—now a woman!—in Ash K. Tata's modern-minded TFANA production; Jason O'Connell, Barzin Akhavan, Sarin Monae West, William DeMerritt and Zuzanna Szadkowski have the larger supporting roles.Â
