Cyrano de Bergerac

‘No master to serve, no leash to bear. I walk as I please, and I speak as I dare.’
 
Poet, soldier and philosopher. Cyrano de Bergerac burns with brilliance. He’s fiercely funny and intensely romantic – but behind the veil of wit is one large problem: his nose.
 
Haunted by doubts and too proud to beg, he watches from the shadows as Roxane – bold, beautiful and seemingly unreachable – falls for another man, Christian. But this handsome, tongue-tied young suitor knows his only hope of charming Roxane is to seduce her with words. And only one person can help…
 
Olivier Award-winning actor Adrian Lester (Riviera, Hustle, National Theatre Othello and Henry V) is Cyrano. Director Simon Evans (Staged, The Dazzle, A Day in the Death of Joe Egg) co-adapts with Debris Stevenson (Poet in Da Corner, My Brother’s a Genius), bringing new life to this thrilling, lyrical tale of love and lies, longing and disguise.
