Event

CORIOLANUS
Coriolanus runs September 18 - October 4 at Halifax Mall, where the NC NAACP held civil protests week after week during the summers of 2013 and 2014.  Moral Monday protesters repeatedly gathered in large numbers on the grounds to protest a number of legislative efforts they saw as disproportionately benefiting corporations and the wealthy - and Shakespeare's play begins with citizens protesting because they believe the senate is hoarding corn and food supplies.

Though Shakespeare wrote the play over 400 years ago under a monarchy, many other themes still resonate with our modern republic as well.  Questions arise about who among society is most fit to lead, how much voice citizens should have, and what role military plays in government leadership.

Managing Director G. Todd Buker (Let Them Be Heard, Two Noble Kinsmen) and the ensemble lead the audience through the play physically, covering a distance of about a half a mile from beginning to end.  The audience will stand and walk for much of the play moving around the site from scene to scene, though there are occasional opportunities for some audience members to sit.  This play is accessible by wheelchair.

Bare Theatre is a Raleigh-based mobile theatre company that has received acclaim from publications around the Triangle.  Bare is known for its minimalist, high-energy, physical approach to the works of Shakespeare and historical texts.
