The patrician Caius Marcus is Rome's greatest soldier, but he proudly refuses to accommodate himself to the demands of the people. Subtle and complex, Coriolanus pits the desire for absolute power against the need to compromise. Performed by Paul Jesson, Marjorie Yates, and the Arkangel cast.

the actor as misanthope,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Coriolanus (Arkangel Complete Shakespeare) (Audio CD)
I love Coriolanus. He's the bad boy of military generals, because he refuses to be anything other than what he is. You won't find a Roman General MacArthur with prettified poetic/political ambitions here--what you get is Coriolanus the warrior--the lion you want leading you into battle.
Oh, and it's a rip-roaring metaphor for the actor hewing his way out of the claustrophobic, intimate circle at center stage (his mother's arms) to take a hostile audience by the throat and rattle some artistic sense into it. Arkangel did a great job, as usual, with this performance.
