Comic poet and dazzling swordsman, Cyrano is hopelessly in love with Roxane. But Roxane loves the dashing Christian. Cyrano, in a selfless act of love, woos Roxane on Christian’s behalf, writing his love letters, feeding him his lines. Romance, tragedy, comedy, and excitement - this is a universal, actionpacked love story which has been a popular hit on the stage for over a century and the inspiration for countless films. This version of the classic by Ranjit Bolt opens at Bristol Old Vic in May 2007.
