Cyrano de Bergerac with Adrian Lester – West End photos released

Production photos have been revealed for the Royal Shakespeare Company’s production of Cyrano de Bergerac, which has transferred to the West End.

The production is directed by Simon Evans, who has co-adapted Edmond Rostand’s play with Debris Stevenson, creating a new version of the text. It was heralded as “utterly exquisite” by critic Sarah Crompton during its initial season. It follows the poet, soldier and philosopher Cyrano de Bergerac, whose wit and eloquence contrast with his insecurity about his appearance.

Adrian Lester reprises his role as Cyrano de Bergerac, with Susannah Fielding returning as Roxane.

You can hear the pair discuss the production in our free podcast:

Joining them are Levi Brown, who reprises his role as Christian, with 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 share the role of Small Boy and Fergus Murphy, Lizzie May Bell and Joe Butcher join as members of Cyrano’s band.

The transfer is presented by Wessex Grove, Gavin Kalin Productions and the Royal Shakespeare Company, with the Noël Coward Theatre operated by Delfont Mackintosh Theatres.
