CYRANO DE BERGERAC THE FALL PLAY

Come see this witty romantic tale performed by the SMCHS Drama department

| Maja Dojs & Bella Sletteland

The drama department is proud to announce this year’s fall play, “Cyrano de Bergerac.” Cyrano is a witty, romantic, and slightly arrogant poet. One of the only problems this sword fighter has is his extremely large and prominent nose. This prevents him from speaking out about the deep love he has for his cousin, Roxane.

A TRUE STORY

This play is based on a true story and takes place in the 17th century during the Franco-Spanish War. This is a war that led to a French victory and an end to the great power of the Spanish. It was a hard fought war with the years ranging from 1635 - 1659. One main battle spoken of during the play was the siege of Arras. This particular siege brought the French troops near to starvation and a saving grace brought them to victory after supplying food.

Come see the play on November 19, 20, and 21 in the new St. Mary’s High School auditorium. Our production of Cyrano de Bergerac stars Megha Bharadwaj as Roxane, Nate Letteer as Christian, Jacek Dojs as De Guiche, and John Goettle as Cyrano himself. Enjoy a night of sword fighting, drama, heart wrenching deaths, and comical romance in our beautiful new auditorium.
