Cantona to make stage debut

Eric Cantona is all set to make his theatre debut in a play directed by Rachida Brakni, his wife, whom he met on a film set in 2002. Keen for a repeat of his critically acclaimed performance in Ken Loach's Looking for Eric, the French media have already billed the play as one of the "theatrical events" of 2010.
