Coriolanus

18 & 19 Jul 2025

Please note: this event is not held at the Sydney Opera House. For the first time in 30 years, Bell Shakespeare presents one of Shakespeare’s most exhilarating political works, in the intimate surrounds of The Neilson Nutshell, starring Hazem Shammas as the uncompromising soldier/tyrant. Coriolanus is a ferocious warrior and defender of Rome. But his contempt for the public, and his refusal to play the political game, see him banished from the city he once protected.
