Cyrano de Bergerac est l'une des pièces les plus populaires du théâtre français, et la plus célèbre de son auteur, Edmond Rostand. Librement inspirée de la vie et de l'oeuvre de l'écrivain libertin Savinien de Cyrano de Bergerac (1619-1655), elle est représentée pour la première fois le 28 décembre 1897, au Théâtre de la Porte-Saint-Martin, à Paris. La pièce est difficile à jouer: elle fait intervenir un grand nombre de personnages, elle est longue, le rôle titre est particulièrement imposant (plus de 1600 vers), les décors sont très différents d'un acte à l'autre et elle comporte une scène de bataille. Le succès en était si peu assuré qu'Edmond Rostand lui-même, redoutant un échec, se confondit en excuses auprès de l'acteur Coquelin, le jour de la générale, pour l'avoir entraîné dans une pareille aventure . La suite des évènements démentit les craintes de l'auteur: ce fut un triomphe; non seulement la représentation fut saluée par vingt minutes ininterrompues d'applaudissements, mais le ministre des Finances Georges Cochery vint dans la loge épingler sa propre Légion d'honneur sur la poitrine de l'auteur en expliquant: Je me permets de prendre un peu d'avance. Rostand reçut en effet officiellement la décoration quelques jours plus tard, le 1er janvier 1898. Le succès fut considérable, en France comme à l'étranger. Le personnage de Cyrano est devenu, dans la littérature française, un archétype humain au même titre qu'Hamlet ou Don Quichotte (auquel il tire son chapeau dans la pièce). Deux statues du personnage ont été érigées sur des places de Bergerac, en Dordogne, quoiqu'il n'existe aucun lien entre cette ville et le véritable Cyrano.

This classic play by renowned French dramatist Edmond Rostand portrays a fictionalized narrative of the life of another French playwright, Cyrano de Bergerac. Rostand's play, written in rhyming verse, tells the story of the eloquent but unattractive de Bergerac and his unlikely friendship with the more physically appealing but verbally clumsy Christian. The two men care for the beautiful Roxane, but each believes himself lacking. Cyrano's words provide Christian with the opportunity to win Roxane-or so they hope.

Rostand's masterpiece in verse CYRANO DE BERGERAC has enchanted audiences worldwide since the play's 1897 premiere in Paris. The iconic title role has inspired countless actors to light up stages large and small with wit, passion, and swashbuckling bravado. The play has seen thousands of productions in dozens of translations and adaptations and its plot has even found its way to modern Hollywood films and television sitcoms.This unabridged translation was crafted to adhere closely to Rostand's original intent of rendering the entire play in rhymed couplets to maintain the larger-than-life theatricality of the play and its title character.

Don Juan's sexual conquests have gained him an infamous reputation all over Europe. When the Devil himself begins to drag him to Hell, Don Juan makes a bargain: In exchange for another ten years of life, he will commit to doing the Devil's dark work himself by bedding as many women as possible and leaving them wanting and devastated.A decade later, the Devil catches up with Don Juan in Venice. Through a dizzying melange of puppetry, riddles and mysterious women clad in masks and cloaks, the Devil shows Don Juan that though he believed he was a master at playing romantic and sexual games, in truth he was but a plaything. This translation of one of Rostand's final works is, like the French original, written completely in rhymed couplets.

A genius with language, but convinced of his own ugliness, Cyrano secretly loves the radiant Roxane.
