Director
Ian Arnot
2004's production of 'Coriolanus', directed by Ian Arnot, was only our second ever presentation of this Roman political tragedy, the first being in 1938.
The play featured a traditional setting with lavish Roman costumes from both our in-house wardrobe and rented from the Royal Shakespeare Company.
Richard Hand took the lead as the titular general and also lead the running at the 2004 Eagle Awards when he won the Timothy Dalton Award For Best Performance By An Actor, alongside Chris Scott and Joanna Hands who won the Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress awards respectively for their excellent performances.
