Swordsman, Philosopher, Poet, Raconteur. Cyrano de Bergerac is all
these things, but none of them makes him happy. What he desires
above all is the love of the beautiful Roxane. But his problem is
as plain as the nose on his face. Surely he is too ugly ever to be
loved? Salvation of a kind arrives in the form of the handsome yet
tongue-tied Christian de Neuvillette might not Cyrano's eloquence
and Christian s beauty together win Roxane? Yet duelling foes,
powerful rivals, and a war against Spain will all put our hero to
the test before he finds his way at last into his lady's arms.
" An] admirable new adaptation." "Guardian"
"Writer Glyn Maxwell, a master of wry wit, has returned for his
third Chester assignment... The writer's main strengths are his
sense of humour and poetic turn of phrase so being asked to adapt a
work where both are such vital elements must have been a dream come
true." "Chester Chronicle"
"A witty script full of rhyme from Glyn Maxwell... A] rounded and
complete... adaptation of this classic story." "Public Reviews"
"The combination of nifty team work and Maxwell's accessible
language stands out as much as Cyrano's conk, giving a classic
drama the common touch. And that's surely what good alfresco summer
theatre is all about." "The Stage"
In fifteenth century Spain, Celestina manipulates the love lives of
rich and poor alike. But she always manages to do it to her own
advantage.
Blending physics and philosophy, the bestselling author of "Quantum
Healing" and "Perfect Health" demonstrates affluence in all aspects
of life. An exquisitely designed gift edition printed in two
colors.
