Kathryn Hunter, Holly Burn

Swordsman, Philosopher, Poet - Cyrano de Bergerac is all these things, but none of them makes him happy. What he longs for is the love of the beautiful Roxane. But his problem is as plain as the nose on his face. Surely he is too ugly to be loved?

This new staging of Edmond Rostand’s classic sees one of theatre’s greatest roles played by one of our most exciting and innovative stage actors - Olivier award-winner Kathryn Hunter. As Cyrano, Hunter leads an all-female ensemble in Glyn Maxwell’s witty and heartbreaking adaptation, directed by Russell Bolam for Southwark Playhouse.
