This presentation of Edmond Rostand's (Cyrano de Bergerac) 1894 romantic comedy is the story of two young lovers, Sylvette and Percinet. What happens when two young people fall in love thinking that their fathers are mortal enemies? What if, in fact, their fathers have driven them together using reverse psychology, only pretending to disapprove? And what will happen if the romancers find out it was all a set-up? (And why is a wall listed among the “Persons in the Play”?) |
