by Edmond Rostand
freely adapted by Martin Crimp
Directed by Alan Patrick Kenny
This “breathtakingly exciting” (Evening Standard) theatrical tour-de-force is a radical new adaptation of Edmond Rostand’s masterwork by Martin Crimp, which recently premiered to acclaim featuring James McAvoy in the title role. This new version renders the timeless story through spoken word, contemporary poetry, and raw physicality. Cyrano seduces in raps and rhymes, using his linguistic brilliance to help another man win the heart of his one true love—above all—championing his own unbridled love for words.
