Beginning with One Man, Two Guv'nors, their screening of the peerless production of Peter Shaffer's Amadeus marks the last of these shows and ends this wonderful series on a triumphant high.

Much anticipation has been building for Martin Crimp's new adaptation of Cyrano de Bergerac.

We caught up with him to chat all things Cyrano and what makes Lloyd such a special director.
