THE STORY

December 1897, Paris. Edmond Rostand is not yet thirty but already has two children and many anxieties. He hasn't written anything for two years. In desperation, he proposes a new play to the great Constant Coquelin, a heroic comedy, in verse, for the holidays. The only problem: it's not yet written. Ignoring the whims of actresses, the demands of his Corsican producers, his wife's jealousy, his best friend's love affairs, and the lack of enthusiasm from everyone around him, Edmond begins to write this play that no one believes in. For now, he only has the title: Cyrano de Bergerac.
