Cyrano de Bergerac

France. 1640. A man is drawn into a love triangle by chance and his own fear of rejection. Trapped between the woman he loves from afar and the man he helps to woo her, Cyrano (David Mackay) knows his passionate words are his only means to win the love of Roxane (Melissa Poll).

The swashbuckling love story Cyrano de Bergerac has captured our imaginations since it was first published more than a century ago. It has inspired at least 14 films, four stage productions, four operas, two musicals, two ballets, and two cartoons.

One of Vancouver’s most innovative artists, director James Fagan Tait’s new translation and adaptation of this immortal story features an all-star cast, original music by the always intriguing Joelysea Pankanea, and fight choreography by Nicholas Harrison.

Will the beautiful Roxane discover Cyrano’s inner beauty? Will his love be spurned? Or will he win her by… a nose?
