Cyrano de Bergerac

Taffety Punk Theatre Company presents Edmond Rostand’s classic tale *Cyrano de Bergerac*, directed by Lise Bruneau. This adaptation strips the epic down to just five actors, with Kimberly Gilbert taking on the titular role of the eloquent swordsman. The production celebrates Cyrano as a hero who fights for justice, defends the weak, and inspires others to see the beauty in the world, all told with the company’s signature punk energy. The show runs at the Capitol Hill Arts Workshop in Washington, DC.
