Cyrano de Bergerac

By Edmond Rostand
Directed by David Ivers

June 19 to August 30, 2008

in the Adams Shakespearean Theatre

Expert swordsman, eloquent poet, and eligible bachelor, Cyrano shies away from wooing Roxane because his overly-large nose masks the beauty of his soul. Instead, he helps his bumbling young friend, Christian, court her by writing entrancing poetry for the young man to recite. This timeless love story will inspire your emotions as these three characters (and you) discover the soul beneath the words and the heart behind the bravado.
