Cyrano

Presented by Majestic Readers’ Theatre Company
Directed by Sarah Sheldrick
Written by Edmond Rostrand & Michael Hollinger
July 24 - 25 // All Weekend!

Cyrano loves Roxane but Roxane loves Christian. Each of these characters have two defining characteristics. Cyrano’s vibrant mind confidently generates spontaneous sonnets and dramas with the ease of a troubadour. His self-image, however, is focused on his mountainous nose which he assumes to be so outrageous that no woman could ever love him. Roxane adores language and the clever turns of a phase in which Cyrano excels but her attention is drawn away from his intellect to the strikingly handsome Christian. Christian in turn worships the beautiful Roxane but fears she won’t accept him because he is incapable of forming a coherent sentence that expresses his love.

The play is both a funny romantic comedy and a heroic drama. Leaving the audience with the thought, how do we accept love from another, if we first cannot love ourselves?
