William Shakespeare's The Tragedy of Coriolanus tells the story of Coriolanus, a Roman military general who returns from war and seeks political office.

What could you add to the play to update it so that it is set in the 1960s?
long, conservative dresses for the female characters
uniforms that feature traditional Roman sandals for the soldiers under the command of Coriolanus
hippies in tie-dyed shirts and peace-sign necklaces protesting Coriolanus and the military
a costume for Coriolanus featuring bell-bottom pants and a fringed vest

Answer:

You could add more costumes or even more stage directions or speech. You could even add a soliloquy of one or more people.
