SHakespeare In the park
As Connecticut continues to re-open and in an effort to keep actors, crew and audiences safe we have opted for a 3-actor Cyrano as our FREE SHAKESPEARE IN THE PARK.
Our COVID-19 guidelines will be posted here soon. Social distancing in the Park will be enforced.
ABOUT: Cyrano de Bergerac is a master of swordplay and wordplay, but a “magnificent Mount Everest of a nose” blocks his path to true love. From Parisian balconies to bloody battlefields, tongue-tied Christian borrows Cyrano’s words to woo beautiful Roxane—but is she falling for Christian’s looks or Cyrano’s soul?
A cast of three triangulates this classic into a lightning-paced romance of duels, panache, sacrifice, and one enormous schnoz.
LENGTH: 70 minutes, no intermission
GOOD FOR: Ages 10 and up
