The Jamie Lloyd Company have announced its plans for 2022, including James McAvoy returning to the West End in Cyrano de Bergerac and Emilia Clarke returning to the West End in The Seagull.
The critically-acclaimed, Olivier Award-winning production of Edmond Rostand’s Cyrano de Bergerac is freely adapted by Martin Crimp. The production will run at the Harold Pinter Theatre in London from 3 February – 12 March 2022, before visiting Theatre Royal Glasgow from 18 – 26 March 2022, and completing its run at Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) from 5 April – 22 May 2022.
Returning to the cast alongside McAvoy in the title role are Michele Austin (Ragueneau), Adam Best (Le Bret), Sam Black (Armand), Nari Blair-Mangat (Valvert), Vaneeka Dadhria (Beatboxer), Adrian Der Gregorian (Montfleury), Tom Edden (De Guiche), Eben Figueiredo (Christian), Carla Harrison-Hodge (Denise), Mika Onyx Johnson (Usher), Nima Taleghani (Ligniere) and Brinsley Terence (Theatre Owner), joined by Jon Furlong (Annoying Person), Tazmyn-May Gebbett (Minder), Joseph Langdon (Jean-Paul), Luyanda Unati Lewis-Nyawo (Marie-Louise) and Evelyn Miller (Roxane).
Anya Reiss’ version of Anton Chekhov’s The Seagull will open at the Harold Pinter Theatre on 6 July, with previews from 29 June, running until 10 September 2022, having closed during previews in March 2020 due to the pandemic. Returning to the company will be Emilia Clarke (Nina), Tom Rhys Harries (Trigorin), Daniel Monks (Konstantin), Indira Varma (Arkadina) and Sophie Wu (Masha), with Katie Buchholz, Tina Harris and Joseph Langdon. Further casting is to be announced.
Jamie Lloyd said: “It is incredibly exciting to confirm the return of these productions and, most importantly, the continuation of our access ticket schemes, with 12,000 £15 seats across the productions and 5000 totally free tickets, which will enable people with limited access to the theatre to experience our work — an important commitment as our industry builds back.
“Alongside our brilliant Emerge participants, we’re thrilled to be welcoming more adventurous artists into the company with the announcement of our new Associate Artists and our writers under commission, who will create bold, radical reappraisals of some iconic international plays. Together, they represent the most exciting and innovative talent working in British theatre today.”
