Their food tastes better when they see us starving (or, coriolanus)
By Chris Tyler
Directed by Anne Ciarlone
Shuga Pie Supreme returned to Shakespeare in the Theatre at The Brick with Chris Tyler’s v political v now adapaptation of Coriolanus!
In Their food tastes better when they see us starving (or, Coriolanus), a warhawk fights to appeal to the same plebeians she holds in utter contempt. A feverish collision of Shakespeare’s Coriolanus and Brecht’s unfinished adaptation by the same name, this devised multimedia work hypertextually explores the volatile nature of democracy and the complicated role the military-industrial complex plays in the continued subjugation of working class people around the world.
