Cyrano de Bergerac

Academy Award and Tony Award winner Kevin Kline and Golden Globe winner Jennifer Garner star in a new production of Cyrano de Bergerac, Edmond Rostand’s 1897 romantic classic, with a translation and adaptation by Anthony Burgess. David Leveaux directs.

Based on a true story, Cyrano de Bergerac is a classic tale of romance and tragedy. The soulful poet/philosopher and brilliant swordsman Cyrano (Kline), a cadet in the French Army, falls for the beautiful, strong-willed Roxane (Garner), but is too ashamed of his large nose to tell her. Instead, when he learns that she loves the handsome Christian de Neuvillette (Daniel Sunjata), his dim-witted comrade, he pens poetry and love letters to Roxane on Christian’s behalf. After many years, the truth is revealed. Will love or beauty conquer all?
