Cyrano de Bergerac at The City Theatre

Edmund Rostand’s enduring masterwork about the power of love, the art of wordplay and the joy of finding what you've always wanted right under your nose. Cyrano's a soldier, philosopher, and nobleman with a head for poetry and a nose for miles. All of Paris adores him except for his true love Roxanne, who can't see past his all-too-prominent facial feature. Instead, she falls for a handsome young cadet named Christian. But when Christian admits he's tongue-tied with Roxanne, Cyrano gives him the romantic words guaranteed to win her heart. With Christian's looks and Cyrano's language, it's a foolproof plan! Or is it? A beautiful and touching story of 1640 Paris, set against the backdrop of corrupt magistrates, bawdy ladies, and dueling musketeers. Thursday - Saturday 8 pm. Sunday 5:30 pm.
