Adrian Lester, praised for his "gentleness, playfulness, and ferocity," will reprise his role as Cyrano, starring opposite Susannah Fielding as Roxane.
This collaborative production is brought to the stage by Wessex Grove, Gavin Kalin Productions, and the RSC. Lester expressed his excitement to return to the role and bring the "playful and poignant production" to a wider audience. The creative team includes notable designers for sets, costumes, lighting, and sound, ensuring a visually and aurally rich experience.
