Cyrano

Work:: Cyrano (S01073308003)

Cyrano loves Roxanne. Roxanne adores Christian. Christian needs help. Cyrano has it all - sensitive, strong, and unrivalled swordsman, a brilliant poet, the ideal man... well almost. Christian can hardly string a sentence together, but he's handsome beyond words. What unites these men? The love of one woman - Roxanne. With Christian's looks and Cyrano's way with words they conspire to make the perfect man and woo Roxanne. But what has Roxanne really fallen for? Christian's looks or Cyrano's mind?

Production:: (T0361253226)

Catherine Wheels’ adaptation is radical: condensing the original play from 3 hours to 70 minutes, from 26 actors to just 3. By simplifying a complex story and by using this small cast in a one-act structure, the production focuses in on the main characters of Roxanne, Christian and Cyrano. With a dynamic physicality, Cyrano has an eclectic style with a flavour of 17th century France. Age 10+
