A play about insecurity, ugliness, and butt-sex, Cyrano: a love letter to a friendship is the story of two best friends whose world is shaken by the sudden arrival of a handsome stranger. Updated from the classic play by Edmond Rostand, this reimagining finds the titular Cyrano and his best friend, the beautiful Christian, as roommates in contemporary New York City. When Christian begins dating the brilliant and beautiful Rock, he asks for Cyrano's help, but at what cost to their friendship? For more information, visit www.cyranotheplay.com.
