Cyrano de Bergerac

Following a sold-out, critically acclaimed run in Stratford-upon-Avon, the Royal Shakespeare Company’s hilarious and heartbreaking adaptation of Cyrano de Bergerac starring Adrian Lester and Susannah Fielding lands at the Noël Coward Theatre. ‘No master to serve, no leash to bear. I walk as I please, and I speak as I dare.’Cyrano de Bergerac is a poet. Cyrano de Bergerac is a soldier. Cyrano de Bergerac is a philosopher. Cyrano de Bergerac is crippled by self-doubt. As he secretly helps a handsome but inarticulate soldier woo the woman they both love, he watches in despair as Roxane falls for his words but another man's voice. Fiercely funny and intensely romantic, this swashbuckling tale of unspoken love, honour, and sacrifice explores the courage it takes to speak from the heart, and the cost of hiding who you truly are.
