About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Cyrano de Bergerac by Edmond Rostand. Read in English by a full cast. One of the most beloved French plays of all time, Cyrano de Bergerac is a clever and tragic tale of truth concealed and love denied. Its titular character is a proud, daring swordsman and genius poet who has one terrible flaw: an abnormally large nose. Too afraid of rejection to confess his love for the beautiful Roxane, Cyrano helps her brainless but handsome suitor Christian to woo her, providing him with love letters while resolutely keeping his own passion a secret.
