And with that, the run comes to a close and Cyrano's white plume packed away. Thank you to everyone who came along to see the show this week.

We leave you with a quote from The Quinntessential Review - 'Good casting, invested performances, and solid direction make Arkle Theatre’s Cyrano de Bergerac a swashbuckling piece of community theatre a cut above.'

Tonight! The final performance of Montfleury (Brian Neill) in 'La Clorise' at The Burgundy (Hill Street Theatre).
Curtain up at 7:30pm, not to be missed.

Four more 🌟🌟🌟🌟 from Corr Blimey.

A "Comedically agile" production in which "Lally achieves each element of the poet with what else – but panache."

It's returns only for the remaining performances. If you have bought a ticket and can no longer make it, please contact us as we have more waiting in the wings wanting to see the show.
