Burton, Burton, Burton.

There's a reason this play is one of the lesser known plays of Shakespeare. But it's still Shakespeare, so still magnificent, in all its weirdness and unsympathetic emotional bleakness, heh. But... Burton. The one and only Richard effing BURTON, brings this performance to a magical level. A must have for his performance. He manages to bring life to the supercilious cruel character of Coriolanus! This is the performance to have.

Amazing

A fantastic performance by Burton (and Tandy) of an incredibly underrated Shakespeare play. Very highly recommended.
