Cyrano de Bergerac
by Edmond Rostand
Cyrano de Bergerac: An Heroic Comedy in Five Acts is Brian Hooker’s brilliant 1923 blank-verse translation of the classic swashbuckling romantic French play by Edmond Rostand. Long-nosed quick-witted master swordsman and poet Cyrano de Bergerac writes love letters, on behalf of the good-looking soldier Christian de Neuvillette, to Roxane, the woman they both love.
