Cyrano de Bergerac

The play, widely-known yet seldom seen, tells the epic tale of Cyrano de Bergerac, a remarkable French swordsman and gifted poet in the time of musketeers. Despite his dashing qualities, Cyrano’s large, protruding nose prevents him from wooing his one true love, the intellectual and beautiful Roxane. When Roxane falls for the young and handsome, yet ineloquent, Christian, Cyrano and Christian strike a deal to woo her using Cyrano’s words and Christian’s good looks. War looms over France though and soon the men are called to the front and the lovers’ future becomes uncertain.
