  • Description: The chapter closes with a noteworthy reading of Mike Pearson and Mike Brookes's National Theatre Wales 2012 production of the play, the site-specific Coriolanus: Coriolan / Us, as ''interested in anger as a political force, as that which makes and destroys communities of needs and interests, rather than as a means or effect of personal expression.
