CORIOLANUS | THE NORMAL HEART

NEW EPIC THEATER stages William Shakespeare's urgent political thriller alongside Larry Kramer's searing drama in repertory with an incredible cast of Twin Cities veteran and emerging actors.

Separated in authorship by 400 years but united in their urgency, CORIOLANUS and THE NORMAL HEART reveal the necessity for political and social engagement. Artistic Director Joseph Stodola helms these two important pieces of theater, which are performed in NEW EPIC THEATER's trademark lean, intense, minimalist style by the same cast of 8 highly-skilled actors in repertory on alternating nights.

A rarely-produced classic about government and militarism in response to a national famine and one man’s belief that he is irreplaceable, CORIOLANUS follows a star warrior unable to function off the battlefield as a member of a democracy.

A searing drama about public and private indifference to the AIDS plague and one man's lonely fight to awaken the world to the crisis, THE NORMAL HEART follows Ned Weeks, a gay activist enraged at the indifference of public officials and the gay community.
