THE SECRET IS OUT… Cyrano is coming to the West End!
SO thrilled to announce that ‘Cyrano de Bergerac’ is transferring from @thersc Stratford to the Noel Coward Theatre this Summer.
I had the privilege of watching this production grow and develop under the genius and dedication of Simon Evans and @debrisstevenson The goosebumps I felt the first time I heard it told me that we had something very special on our hands. And thankfully audiences agreed. 🩷
@adrian_lester is phenomenal as Cyrano, as are the rest of the amazing cast. I’m lucky enough to play a much modernised ‘Roxane’ who is funny, witty and just as strong as her male counterparts. 💪
Come see us… your heart may be broken into a thousand pieces, your mind will be challenged, and you’ll laugh and cry (out loud). And then you’ll probably cry. Again.
Allow us to introduce the West End cast of Cyrano de Bergerac. 🌷
#CyranoWestEnd begins performances at the Noël Coward Theatre from 13 June.

After ten years out of theatre (how did that happen?) my first job back was this beautiful production of ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ @_bridgetheatre
I was so nervous getting back on stage (not least because I was performing 8m in the air) but thanks to the amazing guidance and direction from @arlenephillips@thejamescousins and Nick Hytner, I totally fell in love with theatre again and had a truly magical time. As did the audiences. @_bridgetheatre achieved what theatre so rarely does - making Shakespeare genuinely inclusive and engaging for a wide demographic of people, and - most importantly giving them an exciting, surprising and emotionally live experience that will stay with them for years to come.
I couldn’t have asked for a kinder, more dedicated or talented bunch of actors to be on stage with.
So a big (belated) THANK YOU to absolutely everyone involved in this extraordinary production.
Love,
Your Fairy Queen 🧚
If you’re late to the (Xmas) party, the brilliant ‘Cockfields’ by @gillinghamjoe and David Earl will brighten your grey January.
*Disclaimer* Christmas special filmed in midsummer 40 degree heat. Woolly hats, jumpers and a pub with 3 open fires🔥 And the summer beach swimming scenes shot mid storm on the Isle of Wight. You couldn’t write it.
It’s a very special, funny, heartwarming show with a cracking cast and a family dynamic many of us recognise…

The absolute joy that was 2016.
A Hollywood adventure that changed my life.

I’m supporting the upcoming Children on the Edge BBC Radio 4 Appeal, and I hope you can too. This is a small yet groundbreaking charity that makes a REAL and LASTING difference to children living in some of the toughest situations. They build strong personal relationships and work collaboratively with the communities they support in a way that many larger charities don’t, leading to sustainable and lasting change. I’d be so grateful if you could get involved. This broadcast, presented by me, from October 12th, highlights the incredible work being done to help Rohingya refugee children to learn in their own language.
Please join me in sharing, listening and donating to this vital cause. You can find out everything you need to know at 🔗 Link in Bio
