Summary
" When an old adversary threatens Rome, the city calls once more on her hero and defender: Coriolanus. But famine threatens the city, the citizens hunger swells to an appetite for change, and on returning from the field Coriolanus must confront the march of realpolitik and the voice of an angry people.
Josie Rourke directs Shakespeare's searing tragedy of political manipulation and revenge, with Tom Hiddleston making his return to the Donmar in the title role."

My notes
My thanks to the original uploader of this production for a live audience at the Donmar Warehouse Theatre. The original encode has been edited to include the National Theatre Live television introduction in a separate file called Introduction to Part One. The play is presented in its entirety in two parts with act break.
The size of the original is much reduced for ease of acquisition here on the file shares. I've used my sound shaping technique to level the audio and enhance the voice speaking parts.
