After Edmond Rostand
Cyrano speaks wonderfully, his words a finer weapon than the blade of his sword. Yet, from speech to speech, he never says who he really is. First because of his nose, then because of his friendship with Christian, whom he doesn?t want to betray, he doesn?t open his heart to Roxane, his beautiful cousin Roxane, his beautiful cousin, whom he loves madly. The most he can do is write it down or say it in secret?
In addition to paying an infinitely touching tribute to love and friendship, this play deploys a breathtaking language of truth, emotion and humor, opening the doors to a playful and joyful theater, a show that is truly alive.
A nose!? Ah, my lords, what a nose this nose is!
You can't see such a nose go by
Without exclaiming, "Oh, no, really, he's exaggerating!
Then you smile and say, "He's going to take it off!
But Monsieur de Bergerac never takes it off.
