The legendary romance about a quick-witted swashbuckler whose nose is as big as his heart
Set during the reign of Louis XIII , Cyrano de Bergerac is a play about one of the most estimable characters in literature. Desperately in love with the beautiful Roxane but convinced she will never look past his titanic proboscis, Cyrano helps the tongue-tied Christian pen exquisite verse with which to woo her.
