CYRANO, adapted by Michael Hollinger and Aaron Posner, is based on the play by Edmond Rostand, and directed by BoHo Artistic Affiliate Steve O’Connell. This sharp, lean, nine-person translation of the classic French love story keeps the poetry, but ditches the pretension to create a work full of energy, passion, and theatrical artistry.
Set in 17th century France, CYRANO tells the story of a great swordsman with a beautiful soul who is handicapped by a huge nose that makes him feel incapable of being loved by the beautiful Roxane. When he learns that Roxane and a handsome young soldier named Christian are infatuated with each other, he concocts a plan to pen beautiful love letters to her on Christian’s behalf, leading to a tragic love triangle.
