Overview
A play written in 1897 by Edmond Rostand that as been translated and performed many times, and it is responsible for introducing the word panache into the English language. Cyrano de Bergerac, a cadet in the French Army, is a brash, strong-willed man of many talents. In addition to being a exceptional duelist, he is a gifted poet who also plays music. However, he has an obnoxiously large nose, which causes him to doubt himself. This doubt prevents him from expressing his love for his distant cousin, the beautiful and intellectual Roxane.
