Heyyy so I just finished reading coriolanus for the first time and I....yeah. it really is thee mummy issues play of all time but also like....super gay???? Was not expecting the whole 'my rapt heart dances' stuff. Anyway was just wondering if u had any thoughts/know any good productions? Love the blog btw:)
genuinely potentially the gayest play in the canon. i know twelfth night has All That going on but in terms of explicit textual homoerotics coriolanus might take it.
i have not seen any productions but i'm opening the floor for my followers to add on! i think the one that most often gets discussed on this website is the donmar prod with tom hiddleston which is the one where coriolanus and aufidius kiss
2014 Donmar warehouse production - the most popular version on tumblr, very gay, tom hiddleston as coriolanus
2011 movie - my personal favourite, presents the complexity of the characters (especially coriolanus and virgilia) very well, ralph fiennes as coriolanus
2018 RSC production - includes intros to both acts by the cast, very gay, sope dirisu as coriolanus (this one is in four videos, two acts and two intros, all are on this link)
2019 stratford festival production - very naturalistic production style, andre sills as coriolanus
1984 movie - hilariously bad but also great, very gay, very fun to watch, alan howard as coriolanus
