The story of two youngsters whose parents wish them to marry.
The young people are determined to take matters in their own hands
and refuse to fall in with their parents' plans. The fathers then
pretend to a mortal enmity, which brings the young people together,
but only after the boy and girl have run away from home and
returned disillusioned.
A genius with language, but convinced of his own ugliness, Cyrano
secretly loves the radiant Roxane. While Roxane is in love with the
beautiful but inarticulate Christian. Cyrano's generous offer to
act as go-between sets in motion a poignant and often hilarious
love-triangle, in which each character is torn between the lure of
physical attraction and the seductive power of words. Martin
Crimp's adaptation of Edmond Rostand's Cyrano de Bergerac premiered
at the Playhouse Theatre, London, in November 2019.
