Berkeley Shakespeare Company presents: Cyrano

Berkeley Shakespeare Company

Berkeley Shakespeare Company presents a new adaptation of Rostrand's Cyrano by Jeffrey Lo and Max Tachis.

Live Oak Theater

Berkeley Shakespeare Company is thrilled to bring a bold, fresh voice to the stage with Cyrano, the acclaimed adaptation by Jeffrey Lo and Max Tachis. This time, the fearless wordsmith at the story’s center is reimagined as a woman — sharp-tongued, quick-witted, and brimming with heart — proving that the power of language, desire, and defiance can cut deeper than any sword — and that love, in all its forms, refuses to be silenced.Set against the turbulent backdrop of 1970s America — a nation reeling from the Vietnam War and the cultural whiplash of the 1960s — this production crackles with the tension of a society redefining identity, loyalty, and belonging. Amid protests, rock music, and rebellion, Cyrano’s struggle to speak her truth becomes a mirror for a generation learning to find its voice.Playful, poignant, and unapologetically modern, Cyrano explores what it means to risk everything for love and conviction in a time when the whole world feels ready to change. Berkeley Shakespeare Company invites you to step into the fire of the ’70s, where poetry becomes protest and love might just start a revolution.
