In Shakespeare’s great drama of loss and reconciliation, a long-deposed ruler uses magical arts to bring within her power the enemies who robbed her of her throne and marooned her on a remote island. But what revenge does she mean to take?

Encenada no Festival de Stratford e nomeada em muitas listas de críticos de fim de ano de 2018, a produção "fascinante" e "emocionante" (The New York Times) do Coriolanus de Shakespeare, foi chamada de "o espetáculo da década... uma produção marcante para o Festival de Stratford. Talvez para William Shakespeare, também" (The Globe and Mail), e "a maior encenação contemporânea desta peça que eu já vi" (Chicago Tribune).

A long-simmering animosity between two families of Verona, the Montague's and the Capulet's, has recently boiled over, with members of the rival households brawling in the streets. One night, Romeo, a Montague, crashes a party given by the Capulet's in order to meet up with a young woman called Rosaline, with whom he is infatuated. Thoughts of her vanish from his mind, however, when he catches sight of Juliet, daughter of the head of the Capulet household. Juliet is equally smitten with Romeo, but her father already has other plans for her.
