As a brief taster (or reminder for anyone who was there with us)…
A fragment of the work as it happened, this evening twelve years ago… combining a few minutes of the live sound and camera feeds, as they were captured and broadcast in performance…

Three Olympics ago, twelve years ago this week, for the Cultural Olympiad of the London 2012 games…
We realised our very large-scale performance work ‘Coriolan/us’ - a reimagining of Shakespeare’s ‘Coriolanus’ for and as public space, performed in a vast decommissioned WW2 aircraft hangar in South Wales, jointly produced by National Theatre Wales and the Royal Shakespeare Company…
A work that, unfortunately, still feels current…
‘What is the city but the people?’
- Shakespeare’s Coriolanus
