Cyrano de Bergerac

In Edmond Rostand?s swashbuckling yet bittersweet comedy, the characters experience emotions on a heroic scale. The play?s hero, Cyrano, is a magnificent wit whose pride marks a deep insecurity about his appearance - specifically, his abnormally large nose. His compelling love for the beautiful heroine, Roxanne, is the motivating force behind all the action in the play. With words from his own poet?s heart, Cyrano wins Roxanne for another man, the tongue-tied but handsome, Christian.
