The cast has been announced for the critically acclaimed and joyous gender-flipped retelling of Cyrano de Bergerac, Cyrano.
Written and performed by Australian actress of stage and screen, writer, and director Virginia Gay (Colin from Accounts) and directed by Clare Watson. Virginia Gay will star as Cyrano alongside Jessica Whitehurst (The Comedy of Errors: The Globe) as Roxanne and Joseph Evans (Coronation Street and will be making his stage debut) as Yan. The company is completed by Tessa Wong (Black Mirror; Netflix), David Tarkenter (The Motive And The Cue; National Theatre) and Tanvi Virmani (Minority Report; Lyric Theatre).
The production, a reimagining of the Edmond Rostand classic is a big-heart irreverent rom-com relevant to our times with music, wit and aching romance. Cyrano acts as a love letter to hope, to overcoming loneliness, to language and desire; to the irrepressible magic of theatre.
Cyrano will run at the Park Theatre from 11 December 2024 until 11 January 2025.
