Cyrano de Bergerac

The popular swordsman and poet, Cyrano de Bergerac harbours a deep love for his cousin, Roxanne. However, his features are deformed by a large nose which, he fears, will ruin any chance of gaining her affections. Roxanne is herself in love with another soldier, Christian, but he lacks wit and conversation. Realising his suit is lost, Cyrano offers to help Christian to win Roxanne by writing passionate love letters. However, Roxanne begins to love the soul behind the letters, believing this to be Christian, not Cyrano...
