First staged to great acclaim at the Theater de la Porte St. Martin in 1897, Cyrano became one of the most famous French plays of the late 19th century. The story, based on a true historical figure, still attracts audiences today. Beautifully funny, poignant and heart wrenching, "Cyrano de Bergerac" remains one of the most popular romantic tales in all world literature. Through Aquila Theatre's trademark attention to movement and the visual arts, Cyrano's passionate journey takes us from the streets of Paris to the battlefield of Arras and the cloisters of the convent where this exquisite story reaches its emotional conclusion.
