Meroney Theatre, S Main
St., Salisbury
The legendary romance about
a quick-witted swashbuckler
whose nose is as big as his
heart.
Set during the reign of
Louis XIII, Cyrano de
Bergerac is a play about one
of the most legendary
characters in literature.
Cyrano de Bergerac, a cadet
(nobleman serving as a
soldier) in the French Army,
is a brash, strong-willed
man of many talents. In
addition to being a
remarkable duelist, he is a
gifted, joyful poet and is
also shown to be a musician.
However, he has an extremely
large nose, which is the
reason for his own self-
doubt. Desperately in love
with the beautiful Roxane,
but convinced she will never
look past his titanic
proboscis, Cyrano helps the
tongue-tied Christian pen
exquisite verse with which
to woo her. This comic
adventure continues to be
popular for its dramatic
power and, above all, its
magnetic hero.
