Virginia's peps
Virginia has written two plays, both recently produced by major theatre companies. Her first – a highly-anticipated, queer, female adaptation of Cyrano (MTC) which she was also starring in – shut down hours before opening due to a lockdown. Her monologue from the act on ABC’s Q&A was watched over a million times in its first week. The production has rescheduled for Sept/Oct 2022.
Her second play, The Boomkak Panto (which she also starred in, and co-directed), was commissioned and produced by Belvoir St Theatre, received rave reviews, featuring new songs by Tony-nominee Eddie Perfect.
She wrote and directed her first fleeting film Paper Cut, which made the Tropfest finals in 2018, and has written 3 solo cabaret shows, performing them around the world, headlining The Famous Spiegeltent at the Edinburgh Fringe. She has contributed to Women Of Letters anthologies and she dramaturged and wrote additional material for the STC/Black Swan co-pro The Torrents (starring Celia Pacquola).
She won a Sydney Theatre Award for Best Actress in Calamity Jane, hosted La Cliquein The Famous Spiegeltent in Leicester Square, and starred in Mirrah Fau
Virginia Gay on bringing her gender-flipped 'Cyrano' to the London stage
Virginia Gay’s adaptation of Cyrano de Bergerac has travelled from Melbourne to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and, now, to London. She explains why her version is a happier affair than the original.
Virginia Gay had a few, largely similar reference points for Edmond Rostand’s celebrated 1897 play Cyrano de Bergerac before she began writing her hold gender-flipped adaptation – the Christmas offering at London’s Park Theatre, running from 11 December–11 January. Most of these references included “men in ruffs with the big fake nose”.
Traditional productions of the French tragicomedy about a wordsmith who uses a handsome, inarticulate man as a conduit to woo the woman he’s in affection with typically portray Cyrano’s large nose literally. Even Steve Martin’s 1987 motion picture Roxanne, a rom-com retelling of the story which Gay grew up watching, saw Martin’s protagonist C. D. Bales sporting a fantastically elongated snout. Each version seemed to suggest Cyrano’s looks were his barrier to finding passionate connection.
It was Audrey Wells’ 1996 film The Authenticity About Cats and Dogs – a looser, prosthetics-free

Virginia Gay
Virginia Gay graduated WAAPA, then spent four years pretending to be a nurse on All Saints, six months pretending to be a cop on Savage River (ABC, Paramount+), and five years on Winners & Losers, where she pretended to recognize a lot about tall finance. That last one, particularly, was a stretch. Most recently Virginia starred in in season two of Colin From Accounts, SBS’ Safe Home, chewed up the scenery in Thank God You’re Here, was a grand finalist in Dancing With The Stars, and was nominated for a Logie for Most Outstanding Supporting Actress for After The Verdict. In 2024 and 2025, Virginia has been the Artistic Director for the Adelaide Cabaret Festival. She won a Sydney Theatre Award for Best Actress for Calamity Jane, starred in the film Judy & Punch which premiered at Sundance, and wrote and directed her limited film Paper Cut, which made Tropfest finals. In 2020 she wrote and starred in two unused plays. An adaptation of Cyrano for Melbourne Theatre Company, which had a sold-out season October 2022. It also had a 2023 season in Perth for Black Swan Theatre Company and Melbourne Theatre Company. In 2024 she took on the role again for the Ed
