From the Paper
" "Cyrano de Bergerac", written by Edmond Rostand in 1897, is one of the great romantic tragedies of all time. Cyrano is a guardsman and poet with a tender heart and a fabulous, brilliant capacity for poetry and wit. But he is cursed with an enormous, bulbous beak of a nose. Because he believes that no woman can ever love a man with such an ugly nose, he has chosen to win renown for his bravery and the beauty of his verse."
