About this ebook
No master to serve, no leash to bear. I walk as I please, and I speak as I dare.
Poet. Soldier. Philosopher. Cyrano de Bergerac burns with brilliance.
Fiercely funny and intensely romantic, Cyrano lives by his words and his sword. Haunted by doubts about his own appearance, he watched from the shadows as Roxane falls for another man. Handsome but hopeless with words, Christian turns to the one person who can help.
Directed by Simon Evans (Staged, The Dazzle) and co-adapted with Debris Stevenson (Poet in Da Corner), Edmond Rostand's timeless classic is reimagined with exhilarating wit, lyricism and heart.
This new and updated edition was published to coincide with the West End transfer at the Noël Coward Theatre in June 2026, following the sold-out and critically-acclaimed run with the Royal Shakespeare Company.
