It is the era of 'The Three Musketeers' and swashbuckling swordsman-poet Cyrano is celebrated throughout Paris for his prowess in battle, his wit and his panache.
However, his boisterous demeanour masks a secret sorrow: he adores the beautiful Roxane, yet fears to speak of his passion because he is convinced his gigantic nose makes him too ugly to be loved.
When a handsome but tongue-tied nobleman, Christian, joins his regiment, Cyrano seizes the opportunity to woo Roxane by proxy. But our hero must emerge victorious through duels, bitter rivalry and war to win the heart of his lady in this rollicking epic.
By Edmond Rostand, adapted by Glyn Maxwell
