No master to serve, no leash to bear. I walk as I please, and I speak as I dare.Poet. Soldier. Philosopher. Cyrano de Bergerac burns with brilliance.Fiercely funny and intensely romantic, Cyrano lives by his words and his sword. Haunted by doubts about his own appearance, he watched from the shadows as Roxane falls for another man. Handsome but hopeless with words, Christian turns to the one person who can help.Directed by Simon Evans (Staged, The Dazzle) and co-adapted with Debris Stevenson (Poet in Da Corner), Edmond Rostand’s timeless classic is reimagined with exhilarating wit, lyricism and heart.This new and updated edition was published to coincide with the West End transfer at the Noël Coward Theatre in June 2026, following the sold-out and critically-acclaimed run with the Royal Shakespeare Company.

Mer om författaren

Edmond Rostand (1868-1918) was a playwright born out of his time. In a period when naturalism was the order of the day Rostand's plays seemed to hark back to a more romantic, chivalric period. His plays proved popular with the French public bolstered by a number of roles specifically created for the great Parisian actress Sarah Bernhardt.Simon Evans is a British theatre and television director, writer, and actor.Debris Stephenson is an artist, poet, writer and activist. Her debut grime-musical, Poet in da Corner, premiered at The Royal Court in 2018. Poet in da Corner, which Debris’ wrote with Grime MC, Jammz and stared in, received 4-5 stars across the board and saw Debris’ nominated for an Emerging Talent of The Year Award at the Evening Standard Theatre Awards.
