Raised to be a hero by his prideful mother, Coriolanus refuses to compromise, even to save his own life. Exiled from his country, the warrior returns to what he knows best, vowing to take bloody revenge on the people who rejected him. Only the love and conviction of his family can overcome his hunger for vengeance and save Rome from its former hero. Learn More

The seating at Sidney Harman Hall was amazing. I had a great view of the stage. The dancing, musicians and singing was outstanding. I found it a little hard to follow the dialogue at times but other than that I loved the event.
