Adrian Lester's CYRANO was awesome, mesmerising and amazingly convincing as his role develops towards the ultimate heartbreak.
High praise to all supporting cast.
Brilliant interpretation of Edmund Rostand's original script. Staged with exceptional, imaginative creativity.
We the audience were treated to all emotions, humour, tension, jaw dropping action, love and longing, heroism, tender selflessness and ultimate tragedy. My 20 year old drama student grandson was moved to genuine tears. Ecstatic applause from the whole theatre marked our appreciation. An unforgettable production. Thanks to all.

Why watch Cyrano de Bergerac?
- Adrian Lester and Susannah Fielding lead this witty, romantic play in London, bringing new life to Edmond Rostand’s classic tale of love and longing.
- After a sold-out, critically acclaimed run in Stratford-upon-Avon, this “hilariously funny yet ultimately heartbreaking” (Mail on Sunday) production transfers to the West End.
- Expect a fiercely funny, deeply moving story about unspoken love, honor, and the courage to reveal your true self, all staged with clever modern flair.
- This is a limited run at the Noel Coward Theatre—tickets are in high demand. “Enchanting” and “profound,” it’s a must for drama lovers and romantics alike.
Following a sold-out run in Stratford-upon-Avon, the Royal Shakespeare Company’s Cyrano de Bergerac arrives in London, starring Adrian Lester and Susannah Fielding. This adaptation, directed by Simon Evans and co-adapted by Debris Stevenson, reimagines Edmond Rostand’s classic play for a new era. With its blend of sharp humor, poetic language, and poignant romance, the show appeals to fans of classic drama, literary adaptations, and anyone who loves a good love triangle. Critics call it “enchanting” and “profound,” making this limited West End run a hot ticket for theatre lovers.
Storyline
Cyrano, a gifted poet, soldier, and philosopher, dazzles with his wit and sword but is haunted by insecurity about his appearance. He secretly loves Roxane, who falls for the handsome but tongue-tied Christian. Cyrano lends Christian his words, sparking a romantic triangle set in 17th-century France. As passions and secrets collide, who will win Roxane’s heart?

The atmosphere was excellent. The audience was encouraged to participate which was great fun. And everything was easy - entry was swift and the security search was friendly and good natured. All of the staff were polite, friendly and really helpful. A lovely way to spend an afternoon. The performances were amazing and the set changes were clever and effective

What made Cyrano de Bergerac at the Noël Coward Theatre unforgettable was how the RSC’s production balanced comedy and heartbreak in a single evening. Susannah Fielding was phenomenal as Roxane, and the ending landed with real emotional intensity. The inventive staging pulled the audience in before the story tightened into something genuinely moving.
