Coriolanus

Shakespeare’s final tragedy is also considered one of his greatest. This powerful political drama tells the story of the great Roman general whose arrogance leads to his own downfall. One of Shakespeare’s most provocative plays, Coriolanus is a mesmerizing tale that unfolds as both personal tragedy and political thriller. From exalted war hero to heavy handed politician to, finally, exile—Coriolanus is manipulated by his power hungry mother Volumnia (one of Shakespeare’s great female roles) and his unwillingness to compromise his principles as his world spirals out of control in his crusade for vengeance.—The Old Globe.

Hamlet

Hamlet, son of the king of Denmark, is summoned home for his father’s funeral and his mother’s wedding to his uncle.  In a supernatural episode, he discovers that his uncle, whom he hates anyway, murdered his father.  In an incredibly convoluted plot—one of the most complicated and most interesting in all literature—he manages to feign (or perhaps not feign) madness, murder the “prime minister” love and then unlove an innocent who he drives to madness, plot and then unplot against the uncle, direct a play within a play, successfully conspire against the lives of two well-meaning friends, and finally take his revenge on the uncle, but only at the cost of almost every life on stage, including his own and his mother’s.
