BERGERAC JOY FOR McAVOY

X-MEN star James McAvoy (below) is returning to the West End stage for a new production of Cyrano de Bergerac.

He will play the big-nosed hero at the Playhouse Theatre in London from November 27 and said: “This is a role I’ve been desperate to explore for donkey’s years. Can’t wait.”

The new adaptation by Martin Crimp will be the opening production of the Jamie Lloyd Company’s new season.
