Description
Very loosely based on the life of a French duelist and playwright, Cyrano de Bergerac is a play in verse that tells the tale of soldier who is gifted with every imaginable positive attribute—except that of a handsome appearance. Because of his perceived ugliness (including a disproportionately large nose), Cyrano feels unworthy of the woman he loves and vents his emotions via other—sometimes amusing, sometimes tragic—channels.

Plagued by self-doubt and threatened by religious censure, Copernicus resisted the publication of his work until just before his death in 1543. The play follows Copernicus in those final years as he works to complete his research with...

Somptueux divertissement poético-militaire, pièce historique qui rappelait à la fois Les Trois Mousquetaires et le monde des précieux, drame en vers d'une ahurissante virtuosité où parut revivre le meilleur de Ruy Blas, Cyrano conquit sans peine un public lassé du théâtre d'idées, qu'enflamma le patriotisme culturel de l'auteur. «Ainsi, il y a un chef-d'œuvre de plus au monde», écrivait Jules Renard le soir de la générale. Il faut...

Description
A man ahead of his time, Cyrano de Bergerac dazzles whether with ferocious wordplay at a verbal joust or with brilliant swordplay in a duel. But, convinced that his appearance renders him unworthy of the love of a devoted friend, the luminous Roxanne, Cyrano has yet to declare his feelings for her, and Roxanne has fallen in love, at first sight, with Christian.
