If you're looking for straight narrative theater (which is NOT what this List is about), Bedlam's stripped-down approach has proved to be among the most consistently amenable to the Zoomed reading format.  Coriolanus may not be the best play Shakespeare ever wrote — but its study of governmental abdication in the face of a huge public health threat is certainly timely.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  Flash forward to modern Rome and have an Una Vita da Signori:  pour 1-1/3 oz. each of Mezcal and sweet Vermouth, 2/3 oz. of a China Amaro (China Clementi by preference), and 1 teaspoon of a more strictly bitter Amaro of your choice, into an Old Fashioned glass.  Add ice and stir.  Garnish with a licorice root in the unlikely event you have one, or a fennel stalk if you don't.
