PACE Theatre Company alumni James McAvoy is doing his bit to support key workers.
Theatre Royal, Glasgow, has announced that under-30s, key workers and those receiving government benefits will be eligible to book £15 tickets for Cyrano de Bergerac starring James.
This is thanks to The Jamie Lloyd Company’s ‘Rush’ ticket initiative.
Cyrano Rush offers £15 stalls and dress circle seats across all performances throughout the run. These will be released to eligible bookers at noon on Monday via thejamielloydcompany.com only.

It’s part of The Jamie Lloyd Company’s continued commitment to accessibility, with a total of 12,000 tickets priced at £15 available across the UK productions of Cyrano de Bergerac and their forthcoming production of Anton Chekhov’s The Seagull, in a version by Anya Reiss, starring Emilia Clarke.
The company’s critically acclaimed, Olivier Award-winning production of Edmond Rostand’s Cyrano de Bergerac, freely adapted by Martin Crimp, directed by Jamie Lloyd, and starring James - who was given his first taste of acting at the Paisley drama school - opens on Friday, March 18 and runs until Saturday, March 26.
This follows a run at The Harold Pinter Theatre in London, before visiting Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) in New York in April.
James Haworth, theatre director at Theatre Royal, said: “I’m so pleased that the Rush ticket initiative from The Jamie Lloyd Company has been made available for the run of Cyrano de Bergerac in Glasgow. Rush has already been hugely popular in London and I cordially invite those who are eligible to take advantage to book and enjoy this prestigious production at an accessible price.”
James has starred in The Last King of Scotland, the X-Men movies and Split.
