Cyrano De Bergerac

NYU Tisch Departments of Grad Acting and Design for Stage and Film Class of 2026 Present

Cyrano de Bergerac

written by Martin Crimp

adapted from Edmond Rostand

directed by Jackson Gay

A theatrical tour-de-force captures timeless passion through spoken word, contemporary poetry and raw physicality. Cyrano seduces in raps and rhymes, using his linguistic brilliance to help another man win the heart of his one true love, championing – above all – his own unbridled love for words.

A genius with language, Cyrano secretly loves the radiant Roxane, but she loves the beautiful but inarticulate Christian. Convinced of his own ugliness, Cyrano offers to act as go-between, setting in motion a poignant and often hilarious love triangle in which each character is torn between the lure of physical attraction and the seductive power of words.
