James McAvoy takes on a rapping Cyrano streamed to Tower Theatre from London

Tower Theatre, 7pm, $20

James McAvoy is returning to London’s West End for a new adaptation of Cyrano De Bergerac. The 1897 stage play has been adapted many times, including one previous adaptation starring Peter Dinklage. The large-nosed cadet will be played by McAvoy and rather than speaking the traditional verse 12-syllable rhyming couplets, McAvoy will be rapping them. See the play streamed live from London’s Playhouse Theatre as part of a National Theatre Live event to AMC theatres around the world, including the Tower Theatre in Sacramento. 2508 Land Park Drive, readingcinemasus.com.
