15 roles

CAIUS MARTIUS (“CORIOLANUS”)Male18-56 y.o.All ethnicities

A Roman general, he is given the name “Coriolanus” after he leads the Roman armies to victory against the Volscian city of Corioles. Brave, fearsome in battle, and extremely honorable, he is also overly proud, immature, inflexible, and stubbornly aristocratic. These faults, combined with a fierce contempt for the lower classes of Rome, led to his exile from his native city.

MENENIUSMale18-56 y.o.All ethnicities

A Roman Senator, or patrician, and a friend to Coriolanus. Gifted with a clever tongue, he has a reputation as a great wit, which he uses adeptly to avoid conflict. He is known for his attempts to mediate between Coriolanus and the Roman plebeians.

SICINIUSMale18-56 y.o.All ethnicities

A Roman tribune, a clever politician, and Brutus’ ally in the struggle against Coriolanus. He and Brutus often oppose Coriolanus’s actions.

BRUTUSMale18-56 y.o.All ethnicities

A Roman tribune. A clever politician, he regards Coriolanus as a great danger to the class he represents and to the Roman state and works to keep him out of power.

LARTIUSMale50-56 y.o.All ethnicities

An old Roman nobleman and appointed as a general against the Volscians.

COMINIUSMale18-56 y.o.All ethnicities

AUFIDIUSMale18-56 y.o.All ethnicities

A Volscian general, Rome’s enemy. He is Coriolanus’s great rival in warfare but is not quite the equal of the Roman general, and his inability to defeat Coriolanus rankles him. He is a complex figure with whom Coriolanus develops a grudging respect.
