JUST DON’T MENTION THE NOSE
|
A painfully funny comedy and a tragic love story, a rollicking adventure and an intimate portrayal of love, Theatr Na Nog's Cyrano comes to the Coliseum Theatre, Aberdare on Thursday 6 November at 7.30pm.
Ever fallen in love with the most wonderful, beautiful person in the world and been unable to act upon it? Cyrano is the ultimate tale of unrequited love, our hero has everything, the courage of a lion, the heart of a poet and the nose of...well...an anteater.
Smitten with Parisian beauty Roxane, the charismatic but nasally challenged Cyrano is desperate to declare his love for her, but then he sees his shadow. Believing she will reject his romantic advances on account of his looks Cyrano is forced to live out his hopes of love through another, the handsome yet inarticulate Christian. Christian may have the requisite good looks to initially turn Roxane's head but he is hardly the sharpest sword in the scabbard and so enlists Cyrano's aid - only his words can capture her soul.
This specially commissioned version of the tale from Keiron Self, a familiar face from BBC’s sit com “My Family”, will take you back to a time of honour and chivalry, but also, more universally, a time where difference and timidity are more powerful enemies to happiness than an advancing army. Capture the moon and fall in love with Cyrano... just don't mention the nose!
Tickets are £9.00, concessions £7.00 and available now from the Coliseum Box Office on 01685 881188.
