By Virginia Gay
A love letter to hope, to overcoming loneliness, to language and desire; to the irrepressible magic of theatre. Cyrano is a big-hearted, irreverent rom-com for our times.
Cyrano is the most interesting person in any room – a wordsmith, a charmer. She works twice as hard and runs twice as fast as the pretty boys, because she’s deeply ashamed of something about herself. Enter Roxanne: brilliant and beautiful, with a penchant for poetry and a way with words, just like Cyrano. But Roxanne only has eyes for Yan: hot, manly Yan; who is dumbstruck around Roxanne. Probably shy, right? Until suddenly he starts saying the most amazing things. But it’s not Yan writing these perfect love scenes, it’s Cyrano...
Cyrano is part of the Traverse's £1 Ticket Project.
