Romantic, Swashbuckling & Poetic!
Cyrano de Bergerac, Edmond Rostand’s classic tale of a nose so large it kept a great love unrequited, is a wild and glorious poem in praise of love and sacrifice. It is a hugely entertaining, swashbuckling, fairytale adventure aimed straight at your heart.
In this brand new production, seven actors follow Cyrano’s lead and defy rationality, reason and sense in favour of passion, poetry and panache, to bring you more than 35 characters, full-blown battle scenes, pastry-stuffed bakeries, and a horse-drawn carriage made entirely of food!

Cider Mill Inn is an old, rustic country inn owned by an endearing elderly couple, Michael and Susan Edwards. At first they appear to be bordering on senility. We quickly learn however that they are very clever con artists, preying on their unsuspecting guests. Using an elaborate check-in form, guests are, in fact, signing a work contract, requiring them to perform various improvements at the inn. Plumbers, tile layers, carpenters and electricians are recruited to do work they never expected. But what is Susan's secret?
