War is hell, but politics may be worse. And when one becomes the other, no one walks away unscathed.

In this season of political warfare and warring politics, experience Trinity Street Players’ production of William Shakespeare’s Coriolanus. Consider the questions that are as relevant today in our own sound-bite society as they were in the riotous streets of the Roman Republic: Who is worthy to lead? What role do we all have in the success or failure of our government? What is the price of power? And how far, really, are we willing to go to get what we want?

Directed by Bridget Faris and featuring some of Austin’s favorite actors: David Boss, Charles Stites, Sam Mercer, and starring Kevin Gates as Coriolanus. Coriolanus promises to be an unforgettable exploration of how the politics of our government and the sometimes hidden motivations of our chosen leaders affect us all.
