I'm astonished to see the New York Times declare that "Coriolanus" is not a heralded play. It's not a *popular* play, but this is hardly the same thing.

Just my humble opinion, but the performance of Coriolanus is really moving and wonderfully done.  I had very high hopes, and I wasn't disappointed at all.

This is a great play if you have the opportunity to see it.

Nice blurb NYTimes today about upcoming show "Coriolanus"

"The actors participating in the University of Texas?s Shakespeare at Winedale summer workshop will perform ?Coriolanus? for the first time in its 42-year history. Though it is not a heralded play, this political drama was adapted for the screen last year, with Ralph Fiennes and Gerard Butler, and T. S. Eliot called it a greater tragic achievement than ?Hamlet.?

The story follows a mighty Roman warrior whose one obstacle to office is how poorly he relates to his country?s commoners. In this election, no matter whom you tag as Coriolanus, the same point comes across: no candidate is perfect."
