Cyrano de Bergerac description

Make your way to the Noel Coward Theatre to experience Cyrano de Bergerac.

Starring Adrian Lester, Cyrano de Bergerac is on stage at the Noel Coward Theatre, a brand new production by the Royal Shakespeare Company that brings a classic tale to sparkling life.

This is a story of love, longing, lies, and disguise. You'll meet the soldier, poet, and philosopher Cyrano de Bergerac, a brilliant, fiercely funny, and intensely romantic man who only has one problem in life: his absolutely enormous nose. He's madly in love with beautiful Roxanne, whom he watches from a distance as she falls for Christian. Christian is tongue-tied, unable to charm Roxanne, so he turns to Cyrano to help him seduce her.

Originally a novel by Edmond Rostand, this fresh adaptation comes from Simon Evans (Inside No. 9: Stage/Fright) - who also directs - and Debris Stevenson. The Olivier-winning Adrian Lester (Henry V, The Lehman Trilogy, The Sandman, Hustle) is joined by Ian Charleson Award-winner Susannah Fielding (A Midsummer Night's Dream, Here We Go, The Cleaner), who plays Roxanne.

The Set and Costume Designer is Grace Smart, the Lighting Designer is Joshie Harriette and the Composer is Alex Baranowski. Sound Designer Donato Wharton is joined by Movement Director Sarita Piotrowski, Fight and Intimacy Director Bethan Clark and Casting Director Matthew Dewsbury CDG to create a theatrical treat to remember.
