Cyrano de Bergerac: by Edmond Rostand

Cyrano de Bergerac is a fearless soldier. A loyal braggadocio. And a man furiously self-conscious about his very protuberant nose. Hes also a man in love with a woman (Roxane) whos in love with someone else (Christian) and promised in marriage to yet another (De Guiche). When Christian is assigned to Cyranos platoon Roxane begs him to protect her love which Cyrano reluctantly agrees to do. And when Christian in turn begs Cyrano to help him woo Roxane a plot unfurls that begs the question: does love truly lie in the eyes or in the soul? A funny poetic romance.
