Episode Description from the Publisher

Get ready for Pennsylvania Shakespeare Festival’s 2026 Legends and Legacy Season with As You Mic It: The Prologues. In this mini-episode, we step into Shakespeare’s Coriolanus, a gripping portrait of power, pride, and political conflict. Presented as part of PSF’s Extreme Shakespeare series, this production embraces original practices: no director, no designers, and an ensemble of actors working at full speed with only the text and each other to guide the way. Raw, immediate, and charged with momentum, Coriolanus examines the uneasy relationship between leadership and public opinion as one celebrated military hero struggles to navigate the demands of politics and the will of the people. Join us for a closer look at one of Shakespeare’s most urgent and fiercely debated tragedies.Single tickets are now on sale at pashakespeare.org or by calling the box office at (610) 282-9455.Hosted by: Kim CarsonCoriolanus at Pennsylvania Shakespeare FestivalMentioned in this episode:Become an Underwriter Today!Contact podcast@pashakespeare.org for more information.Single Tickets on Sale Now
