Virginia Gay is Cyrano

Australian actor and writer Virginia Gay serves up a joyous, gender-flipped retelling of Cyrano de Bergerac for the 2023 Perth Festival.

Packed with music, wit and aching romance, this reimagining of Edmond Rostand’s classic play is a delightfully self-aware, razor-sharp theatrical rom-com.

Cyrano has it all – fierce charm, a way with words, and she’s fallen for the beautiful, poetry-loving Roxanne. But Roxanne only has eyes for Yan – all brawn and no brains Yan, who’s dumbstruck around Roxanne. Until suddenly he starts saying the most amazing things. But it’s not Yan writing these perfect love scenes, it’s Cyrano…

Cyrano is a love letter to hope, to overcoming loneliness, to language and desire and the irrepressible magic of theatre – and to the hot mess that is the human heart. Gay has adapted Cyrano for the 21st Century.

Virginia Gay chatted with Danae Gibson for Artbeat.
