Annotation:
	Argues that Thomas Sheridan "quite consciously presented his adaptation [of Coriolanus] as a response to contemporary criticisms of his management" of Dublin's Smock Alley Theatre. Positions Sheridan's 1752 production of Coriolanus as key moment in building Smock Alley's cultural capital and reputation.
