Cyrano

Cyrano is the most interesting person in any room - a wordsmith, a charmer. She works twice as hard and runs twice as fast as the pretty boys, because she's deeply ashamed of something about herself.

Enter Roxanne: brilliant and beautiful, with a penchant for poetry and a way with words, just like Cyrano. But Roxanne only has eyes for Yan: hot, manly Yan, who is dumbstruck around Roxanne. (Probably shy, right?) Until suddenly he starts saying the most amazing things. But it's not Yan writing these perfect love scenes, it's Cyrano...

A joyous, gender-flipped retelling of Edmond Rostand's classic play, Cyrano is a love letter to hope; to language and desire; to the lo-fi magic of theatre.

'Gay's fleet script has a swoony yet muscular and consistently meta-theatrical wit... brilliant and poignant... a giddy and sensitive celebration of love; a feel-good romp full of deep pleasures that seem to reach beyond the space in which we experience them... What a treat' - The Times

'Dazzlingly clever... witty, knowing, satirical and heartfelt all at once' - Financial Times

'Seriously sexy and immensely uplifting ... This is theatre at its most happy-making' - The Stage
