Co-produced with the National Theatre.

The transposition of this text to 1930s Raj India, leads Cyrano to become an actual prompt in a theatre in north India - in love with the leading actress of a rival company, and doomed, by virtue of his unfortunate nose, to stay in the wings and never take centre stage.

Cast: Naseeruddin Shah, Yogesh Bhatt, John Leary, Andrew Mallet, Vinny Dhillon, Kumiko Mendl, Vincent Ebrahim, Nizwar Karanj
