alarms and excursions

[Ivo]

Would you tell me whether I am right with my interpretation of the expression in bold in the following sentence?

The whole first act of Coriolanus is so full of alarms and excursions and hand-to-hand fighting, with hard blows given and taken , that it is tedious to Shakespeare’s modern admirers, but it gave keen pleasure to the patrons of the Globe, (W. Raleigh, “Shakespeare”)

alarms and excursions = agitation and tumult on the stage, bustling, quarreling,

Thank you for your efforts.
