描述
"Cyrano de Bergerac", by Edmond Rostand, is the fictionalized story of the 17th century French swordsman, poet, and author. Rostand's hero is a larger-than-life figure of incredible ability, wit, and courage, but because he has an improbably large nose, he believes that no woman would ever love him. Instead of courting the woman he loves, he lends his words and voice to a handsome but tongue-tied soldier who wins her instead. Brian Hooker's English translation, in which Rostand's rhyming couplets are presented as blank verse, is the most well-known translation of the play, and it became the basis for the 1950 film version that won Jose Ferrer the Academy Award. - Summary by Mike Manolakes Cast of Characters: Cyrano de Bergerac: Mike ManolakesChristian de Neuvillette: Andrew KennedyComte de Guiche: Alan MapstoneRagueneau: ToddHWLe Bret: Bethany MegillCarbon de Castel-Jaloux: Phil SchempfLigniere: Kyle DonelanVicomte de Valvert: Greg GiordanoMontfleury: Wayne CookeBellerose: redrunJodelet: Agnes Robert BehrCuigy: gracenfisk224Brissaille: Michael FazeRoxane: Jenn BrodaHer Duenna: WendyKatzHillerLise: Devorah AllenThe Orange-Girl: Devorah AllenMother Marguerite de Jesus: WendyKatzHillerSister Marthe: Joanna Michal HoytSister Claire: Devorah AllenAdditional voices (Spectators, Cadets, Poets, etc.): Alan Mapstone, stepheather, Rebecca Brown, Agnes Robert Behr, redrun, Rapunzelina, lorda, Jon B., Jonathan Gary, Scott Caulkins, Beeswaxcandle, David Purdy, Lynette Caulkins, Mason Lewis, Kelly S.
