Overview
Cyrano de Bergerac, a
brilliant poet and swordsman, is deeply in love with his brilliant and
beautiful cousin Roxane. Each day of his life is lived only for her -
every poem he writes, every duel he fights. But, despite his dash and
his daring, Cyrano is afraid of revealing his true feelings, certain
she will never love him in return. For who could love a man with such
an enormous nose? Award-winning playwright Deborah McAndrew has adapted
Edmond Rostand's original 1897 play of unrequited love set in the golden
age of musketeers. This version of Cyrano de Bergerac, for 13 actors,
received its world premiere at the New Vic Theatre, Newcastle, on 3
February 2017 as part of a national tour, produced by Northern
Broadsides and the New Vic Theatre.
