Levi Brown will join Adrian Lester and Susannah Fielding in Cyrano de Bergerac, which transfers to the West End with a run at the Noël Coward Theatre this June.
Directed by Simon Evans, who co-adapts Edmond Rostand’s tale of love and lies with Debris Stevenson, Lester plays Cyrano, Fielding is Roxane and Brown returns as Christian after the production’s opening run at the Royal Shakespeare Company in Stratford-upon-Avon last year.
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.
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…
The full creative team alongside Evans and Stevenson are set and costume designer Grace Smart, lighting designer Joshie Harriette, composer Alex Baranowski, sound designer Donato Wharton, movement director Sarita Piotrowski, fight and intimacy director Bethan Clark, dramaturg Rebecca Latham, casting director Matthew Dewsbury, music director Josh Sneesby, voice and text by Barbara Houseman, associate director Lydia McKinley and children’s casting director Charlie Metcalf.
The production comes from the Royal Shakespeare Company, Wessex Grove and Gavin Kalin Productions.
