Performance Overview

Where romance meets rap—Edmond Rostand’s Cyrano de Bergerac gets a bold, modern remix in this reimagined production, a 2019 adaptation by Martin Crimp, directed by alum and guest artist Avery Glymph, Drama ‘93. This isn’t your French prof’s 19th-century play. Forget swordplay, the big nose and outdated stereotypes. Roxane emerges not just as a love interest, but as a dynamic, intelligent force—brimming with wit, depth and conviction. This fresh take on a classic tale explores identity, authenticity, and the power of language. Audiences will be moved, surprised, and thoroughly entertained by this smart, stylish, and rhythm-infused reinvention.
