Cyrano de Bergerac By Edmond Rostand

Edmond Rostand ( ) French Playwright known for his light and entertaining style. Cyrano was his most popular play. His father pushed him towards law school, but he fell in love with literature and theatre in college, and became a playwright. He wrote other plays, but Cyrano was his “one hit wonder.”

The Real Cyrano Savinien Cyrano de Bergerac ( ) was a French duelist (swashbuckler) and satirist whom the play was based on. The play is set in France between the years , when Cyrano was between 21 and 36 years old. “She wants one man made of Hercules and Cyrano” ~Spin Doctors

About Cyrano A playwright with a gift for words and a strong panache, or sense of style and flair He loves the beautiful and intelligent Roxanne, but is insecure about pursuing her because of his appearance (his huge nose) Most of the characters in the play were real friends or contemporaries of Cyrano "A large nose is the mark of a witty, courteous, affable, generous, and liberal man." - Savinien Cyrano de Bergerac
