Rehearsal images have been released for the Royal Shakespeare Company’s critically acclaimed production of Cyrano de Bergerac as it prepares to transfer to the West End.
The production will run at the Noël Coward Theatre for a strictly limited season from 13 June to 5 September.
Olivier Award-winner Adrian Lester reprises his role as Cyrano, joined by Susannah Fielding as Roxane and Levi Brown as Christian.
Directed by Simon Evans, who co-adapts Edmond Rostand’s classic with Debris Stevenson, the production brings fresh energy to the story of love, longing and disguise.
Following a successful run in Stratford-upon-Avon, the show arrives in London from the Royal Shakespeare Company, Wessex Grove and Gavin Kalin Productions.
Cyrano de Bergerac follows a poet, soldier and philosopher whose brilliance is overshadowed by his insecurities, as he secretly helps another man win the heart of the woman he loves.
