Overview


Swordsman, Philosopher, Poet, Raconteur. Cyrano de Bergerac is all these things, but none of them makes him happy. What he desires above all is the love of the beautiful Roxane. But his problem is as plain as the nose on his face. Surely he is too ugly ever to be loved? Salvation of a kind arrives in the form of the handsome yet tongue-tied Christian de Neuvillette might not Cyrano's eloquence and Christian s beauty together win Roxane? Yet duelling foes, powerful rivals, and a war against Spain will all put our hero to the test before he finds his way at last into his lady's arms.

"[An] admirable new adaptation." Guardian

"Writer Glyn Maxwell, a master of wry wit, has returned for his third Chester assignment... The writer’s main strengths are his sense of humour and poetic turn of phrase so being asked to adapt a work where both are such vital elements must have been a dream come true." Chester Chronicle

"A witty script full of rhyme from Glyn Maxwell... [A] rounded and complete... adaptation of this classic story." Public Reviews

"The combination of nifty team work and Maxwell’s accessible language stands out as much as Cyrano’s conk, giving a classic drama the common touch. And that’s surely what good alfresco summer theatre is all about." The Stage
