The actor says female members of the Cyrano de Bergerac cast were harassed on a daily basis.
McAvoy took the lead role in Cyrano de Bergerac in London, Glasgow and Brooklyn, New York
"The cast were amazing, it was brilliant," he said. "But I was really saddened, to be honest with you, because most of the women of colour in the cast got racially abused pretty much on a daily basis when we were there." Regarding the staging in Glasgow, McAvoy said: "I was going on stage every night going, I don't want us to be here. I brought this cast here and I don't want to be here."
The Cyrano de Bergerac production by the Jamie Lloyd company is a stripped back version of a 19th Century play reinvented many times - perhaps most memorably by Steve Martin in the film Roxanne. No props, no period costumes, no false nose . It's sad then to contrast that ecstatic welcome, with the verbal abuse cast members experienced in the city outside.
