By Edmond Rostand
Freely adapted by Martin Crimp
Directed by Edith Podesta
In Martin Crimp’s reimagining of Cyrano de Bergerac, Cyrano seduces in raps and rhymes, using his linguistic brilliance to help another man win the heart of his one true love, championing–above all–his own unbridled love for words.
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 go-between, setting 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.
