Pitting populism against elitism, TIA's #CORIOLANUS is a modern-day adaptation of Shakespeare’s epic play that recounts the tragedy of a man at the mercy of media, politics, and Twitter. This interactive performance is set in a twitter centric world with live feeds on every wall. Audience members are encouraged to weigh in on the conversation and live tweet during the show.
