Director's Notes
This year marks the 100th anniversary of Edmond Rostand's CYRANO DE BERGERAC. With its epic feel, beautiful verse, and richly complex characters, the play is very reminiscent of Shakespeare and therefore seemed the perfect choice for the Festival's first foray away from Shakespeare's canon. Anthony Burgess has written a wonderfully lyrical translation that will transport you to another time and place as it tells the tale of an ugly man with a deeply passionate love that reflects the beauty of his soul. Enjoy!
