Cyrano de Bergerac Tickets
James McAvoy and director Jamie Lloyd bring their radical reboot of Cyrano de Bergerac back to London for a strictly limited season.
The Olivier Award-winning play returns
James McAvoy and Jamie Lloyd reunite for a second season of their electrifying, Olivier Award-winning Cyrano de Bergerac, as the play returns to London for five weeks only.Based on Edmund Rostand’s French classic, Cyrano de Bergerac is the story of a nobleman and soldier who is talented in combat and poetry, but hampered by anxiety over his famously large nose. When the handsome Christian professes his love for Roxane, lovestruck Cyrano writes poetry in his friend’s name. But will he ever reveal the truth behind his words?
This bold and exciting reimagining of Cyrano de Bergerac, adapted by Martin Crimp (Attempts on Her Life), premiered at the Playhouse Theatre in 2019, with James McAvoy in the title role. McAvoy and director Jamie Lloyd have previously collaborated on The Ruling Class and Macbeth at Trafalgar Studios.
