Directed by Gregory Doran and designed by Richard Hudson, this classical production featured William Houston as Coriolanus, Timothy West as Menenius and Janet Suzman as Volumnia. Doran brought out the homoerotic undertones between Coriolanus and his enemy Aufidius (played by Trevor White), with the two characters kissing by torchlight. It was the last production in the Royal Shakespeare Theatre before it was closed for redevelopment and played as part of 2006-2007 Complete Works Festival.
