Tom Hiddleston is literally the best out there!! Nailing every role he those with perfection!!

Absolutely same. Why yell at the man when you can kiss him. Thank you very much.

It was accurate

Tom Hiddleston is absolutely stunning! I wish, he would play James Bond. I'm a great James Bond Fan and for me he would be perfect for the role.

“Well said, noble woman” that’s the kinda support that I’m looking for in a man haha

[@shaefox2229]

@Facetious Universe Yeah, I am not familiar with this play at all. I really don't have any idea what is happening in this scene or the play in general haha I wasn't trying to make a statement, I just enjoyed the line :)

[@shaefox2229]

@TheStonesSing It's admirable that you know what you don't want

[@1deget]

Is that Mark Gatiss? That's a great addition to the cast.

[@WertyQ543]

1deget Totally a legend that he can write books scripts And act in film and TV shows computer games panto And on the stage and direct produce and all things acting

[@CrankyGrandma]

He’s amazing!

[@greatraven1]

Yes, Mark Gatiss plays Menenius, Coriolanus’s mentor. A bit younger than I imagine the character, but played it brilliantly!

[@CursedAndChaotic]

I would have been internally screaming if Tom's character screamed at me like that

[@mishan3150]

Me too

[@Angel_Donoghue]

I feel like that girl just forgot her lines so she improvised by kissing tom Hiddleston Well done girl

[@lrdr5404]

Doubtful. The character doesn't have a line at that point in the play.

[@sebrinabennett5024]

I drove three hours to go see this years ago at a movie theater 🎭 in Grass Valley, Ca. It was excellent! So worth the drive because this play is so rarely done

[@greatraven1]

I think it’s because the hero is so hard to like. (In a snippet on National Theatre At Home, Tom says, “He’s a fascist!”). But it’s definitely worth staging. I’m glad I got a chance to be in it at uni(Third Citizen)!

[@chizzieshark]

There are some actors who are born to read Shakespeare. Tom Hiddlestone is one of them.

[@clowngirl582]

Tom's acting gives me goosebumps

[@ellap6828]

God I just love live theater, Tom Hiddleston makes me remember I need to watch more of it!

[@greatraven1]

With such a long lockdown here in Melbourne I have really missed live theatre. National Theatre At Home has given me the chance to watch plays again, including this one.

[@irinavalerievna1532]

This episode shows us that mother of Coriolanus (as classical narcissist) consider him as part of her personality! And she need to be mother of Consul more than mother of decorated warrior. She don't care about his own wishes. She don't see him as another person with abilities, wishes, goals, interests that different from her. Narcissist think only about power, money and glory. People for narcissist are things that narcissist use to achieve goals. After all, she won the glory of the woman who saved Rome from destruction. And Coriolanus was misunderstood, got contempt and suspicion of cowardice and betrayal that lead him to death. The wife (and son) of Coriolanus and Menenius play the role of the “flying monkeys” of narcissist (that is people the narcissist uses to manipulate and put pressure on his victim). If Shakespeare showed a narcissistic abuse on example of ordinary person, then this wouldn't be so dramatic. But Coriolanus was a strong man physically and mentally. He couldn't be called weak or a coward. And even on such a strong person, a narcissistic abuse could be so terribly affected that it led to his death. I think that Coriolanus is the victim of a narcissistic abuse by his mother. "Coriolanus" can be illustration to World Narcissistic Abuse Awareness Day on June 1. We all have to be watchful with people with narcissistic personality disorder because our wounds would be invisible for other people and it is difficult to heal them after narcissistic abuse.

[@nandrumacparlan4086]

So well stated Ireni. This was my heartbreaking take away from this production as well. I’ve yet to find anyone who agrees with that insight, surprisingly, so I can’t tell you how much I appreciated your comments!

[@irinavalerievna1532]

@@nandrumacparlan4086 Thanks for your comment. I'm also glad you noticed the problem of narcissistic abuse in "Coriolanus". For unknown reasons they didn't notice this problem... It surprises me. 1:08 I like how Volumnia (Coriolanus' mother) looked at Virgilia (Coriolanus' wife) and nodded her head meaning: "Come on, talk to him! Make him agree to do what I want!" And Virgilia rolled her eyes: "Oh my God! Again I have to do it! How tired I am that she is manipulating me!"

[@genxgina1106]

@@irinavalerievna1532 reminds me of my ex and his mother

[@irinavalerievna1532]

"Coriolanus" teach us: if you ignore problem of narcissic abuse, you will die! There is a very good book "Will I Ever Be Good Enough?: Healing the Daughters of Narcissistic Mothers" by Karyl McBride. It has also recomendations how to heal yourself from narcissistic abuse.
