The Ultimate Adventure is the Ultimate Romance with Cyrano de Bergerac, An Heroic Comedy at Alley Theatre
Cyrano de Bergerac, An Heroic Comedy
By Edmond Rostand
Adaptation by Brian Hooker
Directed by Gregory Boyd
Hubbard Stage
October 9 though November 2, 2008
This production features Jeffrey Bean as Cyrano, Elizabeth Heflin as Roxane, John Tyson, James Black, Todd Waite, Justin Doran, and Josie de Guzman in a cast of 25. The soulful poet/philosopher and dazzling swordsman Cyrano, falls for the lovely Roxane, but ashamed of his large nose, Cyrano is unable to woo her. Instead, when he learns that Roxane loves the handsome but inarticulate Christian, Cyrano writes love letters to Roxane on Christian's behalf. She falls deeply in love with the author of the letters, unaware that Cyrano penned them. The adventure/romance is one of the greatest plays of world theatre. Recommended for General Audiences.
