Odéon, Théâtre de l'
Odéon, Théâtre de l',founded in 1780, at times dependent on the Comédie-Française. It was run between 1906 and 1914 by André Antoine, who directed Julius Caesar, Coriolanus, and Romeo and Juliet. It was conceded to the Renaud-Barrault company (and staged Bonnefoy's adaptation of Julius Caesar in 1960), and is now Théâtre de l'Europe, originally under the direction of Giorgio Strehler. When the National Theatre's productions of King Lear (directed by Deborah Warner) and Richard III (directed by Richard Eyre) visited in 1991, they were the first Shakespeare plays to be performed with French subtitles.
