About Cyrano de Bergerac

This nineteenth-century French classic is about Cyrano de Bergerac, a brilliant soldier and poet known as much for his sharp wit as for his famously large nose. Convinced that his appearance makes him unworthy of love, he hides his feelings for his cousin Roxane. When she falls for the handsome but inarticulate Christian, Cyrano secretly helps him, speaking and writing in his place. As the truth remains hidden, the story unfolds into a moving exploration of love, honesty, and self-worth.

Director's note

Brilliant with words and fearless in battle, Cyrano appears to possess everything—except the courage to confess his love to Roxane. One thing holds him back: his nose, as large as his heart, overshadowing his confidence. In a world captivated by vanity and outward perfection, will Cyrano be defeated by insecurity, or can his gift for language spark something deeper in Roxane’s heart?
Edmond Rostand’s play is a timeless classic, and like all enduring stories, it speaks directly to us today. After all, Cyrano’s struggle is not his alone. We all carry parts of ourselves we wish we could hide—insecurities, imperfections, private fears. The question isn’t whether they exist, but what we choose to do with them.
