Step into the enchanting world of Cyrano de Bergerac, a timeless tale by Edmond Rostand that brings to life the story of a remarkable 17th-century French swordsman, poet, and author. Our hero, Cyrano, is a man of extraordinary talent, intellect, and bravery, yet he is plagued by insecurities stemming from his unusually large nose. Believing that no woman could ever love him, he sacrifices his own desires and instead helps the charming but inarticulate Christian win the heart of the beautiful Roxane. Brian Hookers celebrated English translation transforms Rostands original rhyming couplets into captivating blank verse, and this adaptation inspired the acclaimed 1950 film that earned José Ferrer an Academy Award. Join us for a journey of love, sacrifice, and the power of words, narrated by Mike Manolakes.
