Cyrano de Bergerac

Poster Design for a French Classic

The exuberant story of Cyrano de Bergerac gained its fame through sword fights, the poetic agony of unrequited love, a skewed self-image and, above all, panache.

Our hero is a charming and larger-than-life poet and soldier who is convinced the love of his life, Roxane, could never love him back because of his enormous nose. In a desperate attempt to at least let her hear his feelings, even if she will never know they are his, he helps the handsome but tongue-tied Christian too woo her in his place.

These rich characters are accompanied by a hateful third suitor, a wannabe-poet/baker and his far more practical wife, Roxane’s dry and witty governess, as well as a plethora of friends, musketeers, pickpockets and more.
