Receiving critical acclaim at the Playhouse Theatre, London in 2019, Cyrano de Bergerac returns to the stage for a strictly limited season.

Theatre Royal Glasgow is one of only three venues worldwide to host the production, alongside The Harold Pinter Theatre in London and the Brooklyn Academy of Music, New York.

What is Cyrano de Bergerac about?

Returning to his hometown of Glasgow, James McAvoy reprises his role as Cyrano, who is fierce with a pen and notorious in combat. Cyrano almost has it all, but longs to win the heart of his true love.

There’s just one big problem: he has a nose as huge as his heart. Will a society engulfed by narcissism get the better of De Bergerac, or can his mastery of language set Roxane’s world alight?

Jamie Lloyd directs a world-class cast in an electrifying ensemble performance that celebrates linguistic ingenuity and the power of human connection.
