| Summary |
"Συρανό δε Μπερζεράκ" by Edmond Rostand is a heroic drama written in the late 19th century. The play centers around the character Cyrano de Bergerac, a witty and courageous poet, known for his large nose and unrequited love for his cousin Roxane. The story explores themes of love, honor, and the struggle between inner beauty and superficial appearances. At the start of the play, the scene is set in the Burgundy Palace in the 1640s, where various characters, including horsemen, citizens, and noblemen, gather for a performance. As the audience fills the theater, we are introduced to Christian de Neuvillette, a newcomer who is infatuated with the beautiful Roxane. The atmosphere is lively and farcical, filled with humorous exchanges among the characters. Amidst this social gathering, the anticipation for the impending performance grows, and hints about Cyrano's impressive prowess in both wit and swordplay begin to emerge, setting the stage for the conflicts and romantic intrigues that will unfold.
