A Co-Production between Deaf West Theater and The Fountain Theatre

World Premiere of a New Play!
"Cyrano"
Modern day re-imagined
signed/spoken version of the classic
“Cyrano de Bergerac,” is performed in
ASL and spoken English
April 28 - June 10
The world premiere of a modern day re-imagined deaf/hearing version of the classic “Cyrano de Bergerac.” Cyrano is a brilliant deaf poet hopelessly in love with a beautiful hearing woman, Roxy. But she doesn't understand sign language and instead loves his hearing brother, Chris. Can Cyrano express his love for Roxy with his hands? Or must he teach Chris to “speak his words” for him, to woo her? ASL becomes the language of love in this modern sign language spin on a classic love story.
Written by Stephen Sachs
Inspired by Cyrano de Bergerac by Edmond Rostand
Directed by Simon Levy
Starring Troy Kotsur and Paul Raci
ASL Master Tyrone Giordano and Shoshannah Stern
Produced by David Kurs, Laura Hill, and Deborah Lawlor
Performed simultaneously in spoken English and American Sign Language. Fully accessible to all audiences, hearing and deaf."
