With the help of a celebrated actor called Coquelin (Henry Goodman), a theatrical legend called Sarah (Josie Lawrence), and a faded star called Maria (Chizzy Akudolu), Edmond starts writing again. But will he finish his masterpiece? Will the play be a hit? And will Jeanne ever discover that Leo’s love letters were really written by Edmond?

Edmond De Bergerac is the triumphant hit comedy that took France by storm and now makes its English-language premiere at Birmingham Repertory Theatre and on tour across the UK.

It is on at the Grand Opera House York for April 2 to 6.
