The night celebrated the new production of “Coriolanus,” Shakespeare’s political tragedy that delves into the complexities of pride, power and the public’s shifting loyalties. Directed by Lyndsey Turner, this modern retelling highlights the intensity of political ambition and societal betrayal through Oyelowo’s performance as the tragic hero, Caius Martius Coriolanus.
