The production will open at the theatre on the 11th December and will run until the 11th January.
Rehearsal images have been released for the London transfer of Virginia Gay’s adaptation of Edmond Rostand’s Cyrano de Bergerac, having been performed at the Traverse Theatre in Edinburgh this summer.
Directed by Clare Watson, the cast includes: Virginia Gay as Cyrano, Jessica Whitehurst (Ridley; ITV and The Comedy of Errors: The Globe) as Roxanne and Joseph Evans (Coronation Street and will be making his stage debut) as Yan. The company is completed by Tessa Wong (Black Mirror; Netflix and Hedda; Bristol Old Vic Theatre School), David Tarkenter (The Motive And The Cue and The Red Barn; The National Theatre) and Tanvi Virmani (Minority Report; Lyric Theatre and The Crown Jewels; Garrick Theatre, West End/ Tour).
Cyrano is the most interesting person in any room – a wordsmith, a charmer. She works twice as hard and runs twice as fast as the pretty boys, because she’s deeply ashamed of something about herself. Enter Roxanne: brilliant and beautiful, with a penchant for poetry and a way with words, just like Cyrano. But Roxanne only has eyes for Yan: hot, manly Yan; all brawn-and-no-brains Yan; who is dumbstruck around Roxanne. Probably shy, right? Until suddenly he starts saying the most amazing things. But it’s not Yan writing these perfect love scenes, it’s Cyrano …
The production features designs by Amanda Stoodley, lighting design by Andy Purves, casting director Naomi Downham and has been produced by Roast Productions.
