Directed by Jamie Lloyd
Thursday, February 20 at 7pm
Members $20 / Public $25
The Sky Room Cafe will be closing at 4 PM the evening of this event.
James McAvoy (X-Men, Atonement) returns to the stage in an inventive new
adaptation of Cyrano de Bergerac, broadcast live to cinemas from
London's West End.
Fierce with a pen and notorious in combat, Cyrano almost has it all - if only
he could win the heart of his true love Roxane. 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 Cyrano - or can his mastery of language set Roxane’s world
alight?
Edmond Rostand’s masterwork is adapted by Martin Crimp, with direction by
Jamie Lloyd. This classic play will be brought to life with linguistic
ingenuity to celebrate Cyrano’s powerful and resonant resistance against
overwhelming odds. Running time: approx.
180 minutes.
