Coriolanus take 2

I didn't mention the blood. While this play doesn't have blood spurting from gothboy necks like Titus Andronicus, there is blood. Afterall, Coriolanus is a soldier. This play calls for a herd of extras playing soldiers. Act I has them running across stage almost constantly. At one point, Coriolanus comes on stage direct from the battlefield, covered in blood. He hugs one of his fellow generals, leaving blood spots on that man's uniform. Just enough to transfer, but not enough to drip onto the stage and make things slippery.
