Love. War. And Noses.<br />
The hugely romantic Cyrano de Bergerac is<br />
given a Caledonian heart in a new production<br />
of Edwin Morgan’s Glaswegian-Scots translation<br />
by Citizens Theatre Artistic Director Dominic<br />
Hill. Brian Ferguson plays the irresistible Cyrano<br />
de Bergerac, with breathtaking set design by<br />
Tom Piper and costumes from the iconic British<br />
fashion designer Pam Hogg.<br />
The brash and flamboyant Cyrano’s low selfimage<br />
prevents him from revealing his love for<br />
Roxanne. He lends his poetic skills instead to<br />
the outwardly handsome Christian, who wins<br />
Roxanne’s heart through his passionate ghostwritten<br />
letters. Throughout his adventurous life,<br />
Cyrano continues to put quill to parchment,<br />
risking his life in the process, to express his<br />
true feelings.<br />
A fresh take with a dash of panache on the<br />
enduringly popular period piece, first seen in<br />
the classic production by Communicado 25<br />
years ago which premiered at Eden Court.<br />
Contains strong language.<br />
Written by Edmond Rostand.<br />
Translated by Edwin Morgan<br />
