Rehearsals are underway for the Public Theater's second production in their Shakespeare in the Park summer season. Coriolanus, directed by Daniel Sullivan, will begin performances at the Delacorte Theater in Central Park July 16 for a run scheduled to continue through August 11. The new production follows the Public's current staging of Much Ado About Nothing,directed by Tony winner Kenny Leon and starring Danielle Brooks.

The war-torn tragedy will also feature Kate Burton as Volumnia, Teagle F. Bougere as Menenius Agrippa, Tom Nelis as Cominius, and Louis Cancelmi as Tullus Aufidius.

Sullivan last staged Troilus and Cressida at The Delacorte Theater in 2016. His other Shakespeare in the Park credits include Cymbeline, King Lear, The Comedy of Errors, As You Like It, All’s Well That Ends Well, The Merchant of Venice, Twelfth Night, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and The Merry Wives of Windsor.
Surrounded by period-accurate, 19th-century holiday decorations lit via candlelight, the 70-minute production is based on Dickens' own script of the classic.
