Coriolanus is one of the lesser known plays but in my opinion it is very underrated. It's dark, it's raw and so, so different to his other works. I really enjoyed the way the play itself, through its' tone, reflects the nature of the man Coriolanus, or Caius Marcius, and his tragedy. He is torn between two versions of himself, always pushed further by his ambitious mother and at the same time a man who simply wants to fulfill his duty and be left alone. The intimate scenes between Coriolanus and his enemy are one of a kind.
