Coriolanus
A mighty hero, Caius Martius, earns the new name of
“Coriolanus” for his triumphs. However his inflexible self-belief and
contempt for popular rule cause him to be condemned as a traitor and sent
into exile. Desiring revenge against the Romans who banished him, he
befriends his blood enemy, Aufidius, to launch an assault on his beloved
city. Rome, in its terror, pleads with Coriolanus to end his crusade for
vengeance. Directed by David Muse, former STC Associate Director, Coriolanus blurs
the lines between hero and traitor in this politically driven tragedy.

SIGN INTERPRETED PERFORMANCE
The Winter’s Tale
A celebration in the art of storytelling, the Shakespeare
Theatre Company presents The
Winter’s Tale, one of Shakespeare’s late romances. Traveling
through time, visiting the austere court at Sicilia and the bright sea
shore of Bohemia, two generations transcend torment and obsession. The Winter’s Tale is
a compassionate and dazzling saga that tells the tale of King Leontes, who
is overcome with jealousy when he believes his pregnant wife Hermione and
his good friend King Polixenes are lovers. STC revisits this classic piece
with imagination and wit.
