A SWASHBUCKLING adaptation of Cyrano de Bergerac arrives at The Everyman Theatre in Cheltenham on April 25.
Northern Broadsides have joined forces with the award-winning New Vic Theatre, Newcastle-under-Lyme, to stage Cyrano, an exciting new adaptation by award-winning playwright Deborah McAndrew of Edmond Rostand’s classic romantic comedy Cyrano de Bergerac.
Directed by Northern Broadsides Resident director Conrad Nelson, Cyrano tells the story of a brilliant poet and dashing musketeer who is deeply in love with the beautiful Roxanne.
Afraid of revealing his feelings – for who could love a man with such an enormous nose – he woos her from afar with heartfelt declarations of love, delivered to Roxanne from the mouth of the handsome Christian. Cyrano’s exquisite poetry captures her heart, but is it Christian or Cyrano who wins the prize of love?
Set in the golden age of musketeers, Deborah McAndrew’s lively new adaptation brings fresh vigour to this swashbuckling tale of unrequited love.
- Cyrano runs from April 25 to 29. Visit everymantheatre.org.uk for more information.
