Summary Of Roxane Theatre

The first moment of theatre I chose to stage is when Cyrano and Christian went to go see Roxane in the middle of the night.This scene prior to this moment was very important. Roxane and Christian sits outdoors and Roxanne ask Christian to tell her how much he loves her and he tries, but all he can say is “I love you” “I love you very much” and Roxanne gets infuriated and went inside the house. This was the closest thing to the book exemplifying some type of truth. Throughout the play, there has been nothing but lies and deceit and the truth was almost shown until Cyrano had to come to Christians rescue again and save him by going to Roxanne’s house that night. Cyrano hides underneath Roxane’s balcony while Christian stands in front of it.
He begins to speak in a very low voice and confides in Roxane the things he has always longed to tell her. Roxane became very moved by Cyrano’s poetry. Christian cries out from beneath the balcony and asks for a kiss. Thus, Cyrano stands beneath the balcony again and persuades her to kiss him. Christian climbs up to receive the kiss. This scene is very meaningful and important for the purpose of expressing how much Cyrano really loved her. In this scene you see the depths of which Cyrano is willing to go to not only make the women that he loves happy, but to see how far he is willing to make himself unhappy for the sake of his friend’s happiness. This moment is a big display of emotion. Voice will be a huge part of how I will stage this play. When Christian is talking to Roxane, it will be awkward pauses because they are not his words. He does not come up with them. It is not genuine. But when Cyrano speaks, I want it to be full of emotion and passion because these are feelings that Cyrano has been waiting to pour out to her. The door of opportunity has just opened up for Cyrano and when he walks through them, I want him to lay everything he has on the
“Your nose is…very big. Valvert pokes fun at Cyrano’s nose and everyone knows this is a big mistake. With that, Cyrano makes fun of Valvert’s lack of creativity and eloquence, and then starts to make fun of his own nose. This moment is very important throughout the whole play because it demonstrates several of Cyrano’s important qualities: eloquence, sense of humor, creativity, resourcefulness, courage, showmanship, bravado, and ironically confidence. All these qualities will be displayed throughout the rest of the play, but this is the first time you get to see Cyrano exhibit all these qualities at once. This is the first time you get to see Cyrano for the man he is. He starts off very confident. He has always been insecure about his nose, but he always puts on a front. He acts and poses as if he is very confident, but he is not. Throughout the play, we get to see Cyrano’ weakening self-confidence and self-esteem, but his appearance is the reason why. This is the first time we get to see Cyrano so when he is introduced and we actually get to see his face, I will shine the spotlight on him. He will get all the attention. I would want all the people in the audience to get to see his “...very long nose”. When Cyrano is makes fun of Valvert, I want the lights to only be on them two. The light will never leave Cyrano, but I want another light on Valvert. Cyrano will be dressed differently than
