Cyrano

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... A joyous, gender-flipped retelling of Edmond Rostand's classic play, Cyrano is a love letter to hope; to language and desire; to the lo-fi magic of theatre. This big-hearted, irreverent queer-as-hell rom-com was first performed by Melbourne Theatre Company in 2022. A new production, directed by Clare Watson and produced by Roast Productions, was a hit at the Traverse Theatre during the 2024 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, winning a Fringe First Award, before transferring to Park Theatre, London.
