Coriolanus, exiled from Rome, enters the home of Aufidius, and offers his services to the Volscians, Rome's enemies The Theatre division and Players met a formidable challenge with their presenta- tion, in March, 1953, of Shakespeare's difficult and seldom done Coriolanus. A tragedy of pride, it tells the story of a Roman general's inability to bow to the whims of the people and his consequent exile from Rome. Featured in the produc- tion were Eugene Jankowski, Charlene McCabe, Charles Noel, Don MacQueen, Paul Rebillot, Ted Rancont and Dick Mc- Kinley. Before his troubles begin Coriolanus enioys a moment of triumph in Rome. Having finally saved his ungrateful homeland, Coriolanus meets his death at the hands of the Volscians.
