Cyrano de Bergerac

By Edmond Rostand, in a new version by Martin Crimp

Directed by Jamie Lloyd James McAvoy (X-Men, Atonement) returns to the stage in an inventive new adaptation of Cyrano de Bergerac, broadcast live to cinemas from the West End in London. 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 (Betrayal). This classic play will be brought to life with linguistic ingenuity to celebrate Cyrano's powerful and resonant resistance against overwhelming odds. - - - - - Jojo Rabbit: A World War II satire following an awkward young German boy raised by a single mother, and whose only ally is his imaginary friend Hitler. His naive patriotism is tested when he meets a young girl who upends his world views, forcing him to face his biggest fears. Running time: 108 mins Showings: Thursday 20 February 10 am Tickets: £7, £5 concession, £4 U16 in advance (additional 0.50p on the door) Time Credits will be accepted on Monday 17 February 3 pm - - - - - Tom Brace: Brace of Spades Following a sold-out run at last years Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Tom Brace returns with a brand-new magic show for the whole family! Featuring Tom's unique blend of comedy and magic, the show promises to have a little something for everybody. Tickets: £10 adults, £8.50 Child U16, £30 Group (4) Running time: 60 minutes, no interval Suitable for ages 8+ Voice Magazine
