Paris is the city of love and Cyrano, Cyrano is adored. For him however, the love of a crowd as he pontificates and brandishes his sword is not enough as he longs to win over the devilish ingenue Roxane.He believes that his famously bulbous nose separates him and what he considers real love and, unfortunately, Roxane has announced her love for his handsomely dim witted friend Christian. Christian knows he is too inarticulate to be a suitor and Cyrano’s doubts and stubbornness limits his ability to express his feelings to the shadows so together they hatch a scheme.While Roxane is wooed by what she thinks are Christian’s words, the differences between the two become apparent and, with war breaking out, Cyrano must decide whether to force this charade to continue or finally speak with his own voice.Edmond Rostand’s 1897 French classic is, at its core, about the different ideals of love: romantic and platonic. Spawning a narrative trope and the origin of the word panache, Cyrano is the chance for romantics who seek emotional depth and lyrical language to be challenged by the wit of this literary behemoth. The numerous sword fights and war scenes, on the other hand, are perfect for those enamoured with theatrical flair.From the Team that brought a sold out run of Terry Pratchett’s <a href="https://englishtheatreutrecht.com/guards-guards" title="https://englishtheatreutrecht.com/guards-guards" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Guards!
