Description
Yet another of the BBC Shakespeare plays, based on the 1951 Peter Alexander text. Modest cuts and alterations focus attention on the main rather than on the subordinate characters. Other changes underscore Coriolanus' emotional struggle with Volumnia and enhance the drama of his ultimate capitulation (5.3). To further highlight 5.3, the scene at 5.4 has been transposed to precede it
