The RSC’s acclaimed new production of Cyrano de Bergerac starring Adrian Lester and Susannah Fielding is coming to London.

Cyrano de Bergerac will run at the West End’s Noel Coward Theatre in London from 13 June to 5 September 2026.

Edmond Rostand’s classic tale is presented in a new adaptation by Simon Evans and Debris Stevenson, and the play is directed by Simon Evans (Inside No. 9: Stage/Fright).

Cyrano de Bergerac stars Olivier Award-winner Adrian Lester (Henry V, The Lehman Trilogy, Riviera, Hustle) as Cyrano, and Ian Charleson Award-winner Susannah Fielding (Wolf Hall, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Here We Go) as Roxane, following their critically acclaimed performances in Stratford-upon-Avon.

Further casting is to be announced.

“I am so happy to be stepping back into the role of Cyrano in order to bring this playful and poignant production to more audiences in the West End. This fresh take on the classic is packed with the joyful lyricism of Simon and the amazing Debris Stevenson… I feel very lucky to be a part of this great production.” – ADRIAN LESTER
