  • Cyrano, Northern Broadsides, West Yorkshire Playhouse, Leeds Chris Wallis March 1, 2017
    Review: Cyrano, Northern Broadsides, West Yorkshire Playhouse, Leeds Chris Wallis March 1, 2017 Cyrano de Bergerac had a very big nose. So big in fact that Edmund Rostand immortalised it in his 1897 comic masterpiece, written almost 250 years after his eponymous hero’s death. Apart from the nose, and Cyrano’s position as a member of the Cadets (a regiment of noblemen fighting for the King of France), everything else in the story is fiction. Incredibly successful fiction. The play has been translated and seen all over the world, and a number of movies have been based on the story, including Roxanne starring Steve Martin. Northern Broadsides’ new version by Deborah McAndrew is a worthy addition to the canon. Adapted in verse like the original, McAndrew has great fun with rhymes and rhyme schemes, and stays faithful to the structure of the story. It’s a classic Broadsides ensemble show, performed by an accomplished group of actors and musicians, with music composed by theatrical polymath Conrad Nelson, who also directs. The story turns on the idea that Cyrano – an extremely talented man in every respect – considers himself so ugly because of his nose that no woman could ever love him, especially not his cousin Roxanne with whom he is deeply in love. So when Roxanne falls in love at first sight with the beautiful but uneducated yokel Christian, a new recruit to the Cadets, Cyrano volunteers to write his love letters for him. As the billet-doux pour in, Roxanne becomes ever more besotted and matters are further complicated by Cyrano’s commanding officer, the Count de Guiche, who, although married and many years her senior, is pursuing Roxanne with relentless persistence.
