Fall Theater Show CYRANO DE BERGERAC
Fall Theater Show CYRANO DE BERGERAC by Edmond Rostand, Freely adapted by Martin Crimp
A genius with language, Cyrano secretly loves the radiant Roxane, but she loves the beautiful but inarticulate Christian. Convinced of his own ugliness, Cyrano offers to act as a go-between and writes beautiful love letters for Christian to give to Roxane. This verbal deception sets in motion a poignant and often hilarious love triangle in which each character is torn between the lure of physical attraction and the seductive power of words. Martin Crimp’s radical adaptation reimagines the classic love story through spoken word, contemporary poetry and rap—creating a world where words are everything.
