A charismatic, egocentric strongman politician with contempt for the population he leads, rides roughshod over the conventions of democracy to drive through decisions he makes, having little regard for opinions other than his own.

Sound familiar?

If it does, then I am slightly surprised, since this play has not been performed in Australia for thirty years!

The Bell Shakespeare production of Coriolanus has just opened at the Neilson Nutshell in Sydney, tranferring to Melbourne's Arts Centre in late July.

Two of the cast members take on this week's quiz - Gareth Reeves and Marco Chiappi.
