Sword fights, mistaken identity, and the guy with the nose tucked under the balcony – all the classics of a timeless love story. 

 

“He’s aggressive and explosive and wears rather old clothes: but he has lots of panache (and a very large nose).” – Jessy Ardern

Written in modern verse and brimming with daring duels, quippy repartee, and a love triangle for the ages, Jessy Ardern’s adaptation of Rostand’s classic has us rooting once again for the noble Cyrano. This bold reimagining of a timeless romance brings a fresh, witty edge to the story of the lovelorn Cyrano and his rather large nose. 

A gifted wordsmith and legendary duelist living in the time of the Musketeers, our hero is a loyal friend to the end despite a series of unfortunate events and an unrequited love that threatens to consume from within. In a world obsessed with appearances, can this warrior-poet with a beak to be bargained truly find happiness?

“Written in rhyming couplets and set in the 17th century, this funny and fresh new adaptation of the classic has sword fights, period costumes, and a devoted yet doomed love story – laced with nods to modern life, language, and energy.” – Rachel Peake, Artistic Director
