cyrano de bergerac
Cyrano de Bergerac is a dramatic comedy set in 17th century France. The colorful play features Cyrano, an ugly poet in love with his beautiful cousin, Roxanne. Afraid to aspire to her hand, he finds an outlet for his passion in scripting the romance of her unimaginative, but handsome beau, with hilarious and poignant results. Filled with swashbuckling adventure, romance, and captivating poetry, Cyrano de Bergerac is a delightful and thought provoking classic.
