Cyrano de Bergerac

I read with interest the very positive reviews of  the play ‘Cyrano de Bergerac’ at the Playhouse theatre in London. The role was first immortalised by Edmond Rostand in 1897. Cyrano is famed for having a huge nose but James McAvoy has seemingly taken a more modern and highly successful approach to the preconception of ugliness and delivers a very exciting and stimulating interpretation. Unfortunately we won’t be able to see the play.
