April 7 - May 7 TUES-WED 7PM; THUR-SAT 8PM; SUN 2PM
Aurora Theatre Compapny's Artistic Director, Josh Costello, adapts the classic tale for the intimacy of Aurora's stage. Cyrano, the famed poet-soldier, loves Roxane, but has one fear: to be mocked by a lady for his enormous nose. Young Christian has a pretty face but lacks the wit to woo. Cyrano's words and Christian's looks combine to form a hero of romance - but does Roxane fall in love with Christian's face or with Cyrano's soul? This story of unrequited love, sacrifice, friendship, and poetry all at a time of war is brought into new focus in this world premiere five-actor adaptation.
"A tale of glorious theatricality, glittering poetry and heroic self-sacrifice... Cyrano de Bergerac [is] a hero for all time" - The Guardian
