Fiercely witty and deeply romantic, Cyrano lives by both blade and verse. Plagued by insecurity over his looks, he lingers in the margins as Roxane falls for another. Dashing yet tongue-tied, Christian seeks help from the one man who can give him the words he lacks. After a sold-out, critically acclaimed run with the Royal Shakespeare Company, this “hilariously funny and ultimately heartbreaking” (Mail on Sunday) production arrives in the West End for a strictly limited season. Olivier Award-winner Adrian Lester (Riviera, Hustle) delivers a “perfect” (The Times) turn as Cyrano, alongside Susannah Fielding (Wolf Hall), who brings “instant charm” (The Stage) to Roxane. Directed by Simon Evans (Staged, The Dazzle) and co-adapted with Debris Stevenson (Poet in Da Corner), Edmond Rostand’s classic is reborn with sparkling wit, lyrical energy and emotional depth.
