Our New Artistic Director’s Trinity Rep Directorial Debut
Filled to the brim with pathos and panache, this irreverent adaptation of Rostand’s iconic romance is the Trinity Rep directorial debut of new Artistic Director Meredith McDonough. A hopeless romantic wielding a wit nearly as sharp as his blade, Cyrano quietly pines for the brilliant, beautiful, and kind Roxanne. When she falls for Christian, a handsome soldier, Cyrano’s debilitating insecurities lead him to help his rival by ghostwriting love letters to Roxanne, leading to consequences funny, tragic, and unexpected. By turns mischievous and tender, Cyrano is a delightful celebration of love in all of its forms.
