Virginia Gay's Cyrano is billed as 'after Edmond Rostand' and is far more than a faithful adaptation of the classic tragic tale of doomed romance. In reimagining the play, Gay finds an interesting central role for herself as the overlooked and lovesick Cyrano, wishing for more from her friendship with the bubbly Roxanne, and finding a facade of words to hide the hurt she feels at comments about her ugly looks.
Cyrano, the critically acclaimed and joyous gender-flipped retelling of Cyrano de Bergerac will transfer to Park Theatre, London from 11 December 2024- 11 January 2025 following the sold-out European premiere run at the Traverse Theatre in Edinburgh this summer.
Traverse 1 will play host to some of theatreland’s finest UK talent this August as the cast for Virginia Gay’s Cyrano is announced.
This year the judging panel included John Cannon (Casting Director, BBC), Bryony Jarvis-Taylor (Casting Director, National Theatre), Orion Lee (Actor and sponsor of the Bursary), Kumiko Mendl (Artistic Director of New Earth Theatre) and Hannah Miller (Casting Director, RSC).
