Not what I was expecting to see. Very intense.However, I didn’t enjoy the language ( a lot of unnecessary swearing in the show).James McAvoy was amazing!Read more →

Bare stage, no props, little interaction between actors... only words and wit for this contemporary take on Cyrano where poetry meets rap. Solid acting, good laughs from the audience. Excellent evening.Read more →

Estelle Moette

Absolutely amazing adaptation of a classic It will not be to everybody’s taste but I totally fell in love with it James McAvoy is brilliant and delivers a great performance Just loved itRead more →

Bilkisu Zhang

Interesting adaptation. The second half lacks movement. Seriously though James is way too pretty to play this part, can’t you at least give him a fake nose make-up?Read more →

Bee Lee

**** set Too long Excellent writing by Edmond Rostand Good performance by James McAvoyRead more →

Gisella Chiesa

Superb acting and rapping with no props, costumes and a minimalist stageRead more →

Mal Content

Beautiful writing driven by a powerful figurehead performance. The bare set and minimal formal effects hindered the piece and made it drag.Read more →

David Roy

Extraordinary update and rewrite whilst at the same time stripping t bare and going straight to the poetry. Remarkable to see a mostly young audience sitting in rapt silence listening intently to verse. And McAvoy is really charismatic and joined by a diverse characterful cast. Unmissable.Read more →

Wasn’t prepared for beat poetry recital, handsome James McAvoy with no change to his face & general streetness of it. Once I got over that,enjoyed a lot more & every scene with James was excellent, particularly where he becomes Christian’s mouthpiece with his improv. Not sure it’s as clever as it thinks it is, bit of a Hamilton-esque feel about it which was a little cringey&some bits felt like a poetry jam night... Having said that, the female beatboxer was great(!) & worth it just for James. He made me believe (in the end) that he was ‘****’: shows how powerful imagination can be, when inspired 🎤Read more →
