A real triumph of the writer Edmond Rostand’s talent is the play “Cyrano de Bergerac.” Enthusiastic reviews of the publications and productions invariably accompany this work around the world.
In his play, Rostand combined romantic drama with melodrama, comedy with tragedy. Cyrano is a witty poet, a somewhat rough defender of truth and justice, a man of his word, a passionate lover, and a seeker of adventures and a philosopher—he embodies the real Frenchman.
