The National Theatre has released production photographs for its revival of Shakespeare's Coriolanus.

David Oyelowo (known for Othello Off-Broadway) makes his much-anticipated debut at the National Theatre in the lead role of director Lyndsey Turner's production. He is joined by cast members Luke Aquilina, Anushka Chakravarti, Anton Cross, Patrick Elue, Peter Forbes, Kobna Holdbrook-Smith, Conor McLeod, Jordan Metcalfe, Richard Pryal, Jordan Rhys, Stephanie Street, and John Vernon.

Additional actors in the cast include Chereen Buckley, Ashley Gerlach, Sam Hazeldine, Kemi-Bo Jacobs, Marcia Lecky, Pamela Nomvete, Oliver Senton, and Jo Stone-Fewings. The role of Young Marcius is alternated among four young performers: Kyron Allen, Deniro-Carter Bhola, Kaelum Nelson, and Cale Cole.

Collaborating with Turner, the creative team features set designer Es Devlin, costume designer Annemarie Woods, lighting designer Tim Lutkin, sound designer Tom Gibbons, video designer Ash J Woodward, and fight director Sam Lyon-Behan.
