SYNOPSIS The people of Rome are starving and begin the play protesting Caius Marcius’ decision to keep all of Rome’s stored food for the use of the military. Marcius hates the people, holding them in contempt, but he is also Rome’s greatest military hero. After Rome’s ancient foes, the Volscians, send forth an army to destroy Rome, Marcius almost singlehandedly defeats the Volscians (including their leader, the terrifying Aufidius) at the Volscian city of Corioli. To honor his remarkable victory, the Roman military grants Marcius the name of Coriolanus (after the city he captured) and the Roman Senate move to appoint him a Consul (one of Rome’s most powerful political positions)—a position Coriolanus’ mother Volumnia has sought for her son for years. But, in order to be
elected Consul, Coriolanus must have the support of the Roman people—the same Roman people who both hate and are hated by Coriolanus. Rather than flatter them, Coriolanus heaps scorn on the Roman people who, in turn, banish him from the city. In disgrace, and seeking vengence on the “dirty poor” who banished him, Coriolanus turns to his old enemy Aufidius, allying himself with the Volscian army and promising to lead them to total victory over Rome. After laying waste to all of the cities near Rome, Coriolanus arrives at the steps of the Roman capitol, where he is confronted by his mother (Volumnia), his wife (Virgilia), and a lady of Rome (Valeria), who beg him to leave Rome alone, and spare the city and the people.
DIRECTOR’S NOTES Written in or around 1609, Coriolanus is among Shakespeare’s later plays, although there are absolutely no recorded performances of the play during Shakespeare’s lifetime. The very first mention of any performance of the play is in adapted form, in 1682, adapted by Nahum Tate and performed at the Theatre Royal. Tate’s adaptation was called The Ingratitude of a Commonwealth; or, The Fall of Caius Martius Coriolanus. The focus of Tate’s adaptation was, as the new subtitle suggests, the failure of the common people to truly appreciate Coriolanus as a ruler, and critics called it “on the whole a very bad one.” A second adaptation of Coriolanus, the work of John Dennis, was produced in November of 1719 under the title The invader of his country; or, The Fatal
Resentment. “Dennis,” says Genest, a critic of the period, “has retained about half of the original play, which he has altered much for the worse” and again focused largely on the utter stupidity of the common people, whose resentment towards the wealthy, powerful Coriolanus ultimately ended in their wholesale destruction. A third adaptation of Coriolanus, attributed to Irish actor and producer Thomas Sheridan and entitled Coriolanus; or, The Roman Matron, was performed at Covent Garden in December, 1754, and it is this adaptation that we are using as the basis for our own production. Sheridan explores not just the implications of the haves versus the have-nots, but also the relationship between the women in Coriolanus’ life and their influence on his choices. Remarkably, it wasn’t until 1820, more than 200 years after it was first written, BAG&BAGGAGE 3
DIRECTOR’S NOTES CONT. that Shakespeare’s full script actually made it to the stage—performed in London’s Drury Lane in January of that year, produced by one Mr. Elliston. Initially written in the early 1600s as a work of historical tragedy, Shakespeare’s Coriolanus spent its first 200 years flopping around from adaptor to adaptor, being rewritten and reimagined for a variety of political purposes. David Wheeler, a Shakespeare historian, writes, “In the Restoration and throughout the 18th century, all sides used Coriolanus to advance their political positions” in essence because there is so much in the play that can be used to do so. As with all things Shakespearean, the times determine the meaning of the plays—contemporary sensibilities shade and color the way we see and understand the plays, their characters, and their themes. Of all of Shakespeare’s plays, Coriolanus seems to be among the most liquid and mercurial in terms of the impact of the circumstances on our understanding of the play’s meanings. Unlike Hamlet or Macbeth, which are colored so carefully that there are fewer swings in interpretation, Coriolanus contains so much potential meaning that the play swings radically back and forth between warnings about tyranny and warnings about mob rule. Any reading
4 BAG&BAGGAGE
of Shakespeare’s play could ultimately end with either interpretation…it just depends on your mood. But, present day readings are by far less charitable towards the character of the Roman General. In essence, we have a hard time, in the 21st Century, reading anything into Coriolanus other than his basic existence as an egomaniacal asshat. William Hazlitt, one of my favorite critics of Shakespeare, writes: “The moral of Coriolanus is that those who have little, shall have less. Those who have much shall take all that others have. The people are poor, therefore they ought to be starved. They are slaves, therefore they ought to be beaten. They work hard, therefore should be treated like beasts of burden. They are ignorant, therefore they ought not to be allowed to feel that they want food, or clothing, or rest, or that they are enslaved, oppressed, and miserable.” And what better time than now to allow Shakespeare to ask us questions about what is just rule, questions about political dynasties, and about arrogance and selfish egotism in our leaders? This seems like the perfect time to ask those questions, and listen to these answers. Scott Palmer Artistic Director
