Cyrano de Bergerac
The Royal Shakespeare Company’s critically acclaimed Cyrano de Bergerac transfers to the Noël Coward Theatre.
Fantastic new rehearsal photography has been released, giving a behind-the-scenes look at the critically acclaimed 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 2026.
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.
Olivier Award-winning actor Adrian Lester will reprise his performance as Cyrano alongside Susannah Fielding as Roxane, with Levi Brown. 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. Robert Jackson joins the cast as Arnauld alongside Taiva Hove, Joshua Maduike and Elim Mapira who will share the role of Small Boy and Fergus Murphy, Lizzie May Bell and Joe Butcher who join as members of Cyrano’s band.
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…
Following a sold-out, critically acclaimed run with the Royal Shakespeare Company, this ‘hilariously funny and ultimately heartbreaking’ (Mail on Sunday) production transfers to the West End for a strictly limited season.
