One of the most dense and political of Shakespeare's tragedies, Coriolanus (1607) is rarely performed in France, making Christian Schiaretti's epic version all the more intriguing.
Viewers are bound to be struck by how closely the social and moral stakes underlying this tale about a Roman war hero, mirror those of the French political scene today.
