Poet and swordsman Cyrano is in love with Roxane but feels that he’s not attractive enough for her. He agrees to help Christian win her heart by writing poems and letters to her. Intrigue, war, rivalry, insecurity, love and death all follow.
ROLES AVAILABLE
Cyrano de Bergerac: The play’s namesake and protagonist – a man of many talents, whose insecurities and doubts get in the way of his great love of Roxane. A brave and idealistic swordsman, he is a member of the Cadets of Gascoyne.
Roxane: Beautiful and intellectual, Roxane is beloved by all and the catalyst for much drama. She is kind, sincere and learns to appreciate the inner beauty of those around her.
Christian: Christian is handsome but lacks Cyrano’s wit and intellect. Despite being part of the company of cadets, in many ways, he is Cyrano’s opposite.
De Guiche: Powerful and rich, this married nobleman is also in love with Roxane and he tries to have Cyrano and Christian killed. The text’s “villain” is devious and deceitful but softens over the length of the play.
Ligniere: Christian’s friend, a drunkard, with many powerful enemies.
Leila Ragueneau: A pastry chef who sells his wares for poems. He later becomes Roxane’s porter.
Le Bret: Cyrano’s best friend, a fellow soldier and cadet. Le Bret worries for Cyrano.
