Photos: CYRANO DE BERGERAC in Rehearsal at the Noël Coward Theatre
Performances will run from 13 June – 5 September.
Rehearsal photos have been released from Cyrano de Bergerac, produced in the West End by the Royal Shakespeare Company, Wessex Grove and Gavin Kalin Productions and running at the Noël Coward Theatre, a Delfont Mackintosh Theatre, from 13 June – 5 September. Check out the photos below!
Director Simon Evans (Staged, BBC), co-adapts with Debris Stevenson (My Brother’s a Genius), bringing new life to Edmond Rostand’s lyrical tale of love and lies, longing and disguise. The production played to packed houses at the RSC in Stratford-upon-Avon last year. T
Olivier Award-winning actor Adrian Lester (Company, Donmar Warehouse/ West End; Othello, National Theatre; Hustle, BBC) will reprise his performance as Cyrano alongside Susannah Fielding (This Time with Alan Partridge, BBC; The Merchant of Venice, RSC; A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Bridge Theatre) as Roxane, with Levi Brown (This Town , BBC; Silo, Apple TV; Macbeth, UK/global tour) returning as Christian.
Poet, soldier and philosopher. Cyrano de Bergerac burns with brilliance. He's fiercely funny and urgently 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…
Also returning to their roles are Joseph Christain as Edmond, Sunny Chung as Sister Claire/Madame Jodolet, Philip Cumbus as Le Bret, Greer Dale-Foulkes as Abigail, Rachel Dawson as Ann-Sofie, Oliver Grant as Jean, Scott Handy as Comte de Guiche, David Mildon as Jodolet/Carbon, Matt Mordak as Valvert/Pierre, Daniel Norford as Louis, Chris Nayak as Monfleury/Bernard, Christian Patterson as Ragueneau and Josh Sneesby as Raphael.
