Harry Groener to Lead CYRANO DE BERGERAC at Chicago Shakespeare Theatre, Begin. 9/24

Chicago Shakespeare Theater (CST) presents Cyrano de Bergerac directed by Penny Metropulos September 24-November 10, 2013 in CST's Courtyard Theater.

The stars have aligned to reunite the actor-director team behind CST's wildly popular production of The Madness of George III. The illustrious Harry Groener, who took home the Best Actor Jeff Award for his turn as King George, will play the nobleman whose gift for romance is shadowed by his all-too-prominent nose. Director Penny Metropulos takes the helm of this enduring masterwork that speaks as directly to the heart today as it did more than 100 years ago.

Featuring some of the most clever, touching lines ever written, this homage to poetry, love and panache reminds us that sometimes what you seek is right under your, well...nose.

Tickets are $48-78, and available at www.chicagoshakes.com, or by calling the box office at 312.595.5600.
