Poet, Soldier, and a cap full of panache. Cyrano, whose swashbuckling charm is preceded by his large nose, attempts to woo the fair Roxane through his attractive but far less eloquent friend Christian, without having to step out of the shadows.
Paris is the city of love and Cyrano, Cyrano is adored. For him however, the love of a crowd as he pontificates and brandishes his sword is not enough as he longs to win over the devilish ingenue Roxane.
Edmond Rostand’s 1897 French classic is, at its core, about the different ideals of love: romantic and platonic. Spawning a narrative trope and the origin of the word panache, Cyrano is the chance for romantics who seek emotional depth and lyrical language to be challenged by the wit of this literary behemoth. The numerous sword fights and war scenes, on the other hand, are perfect for those enamoured with theatrical flair.
