Cyrano de Bergerac - Sydney Theatre Company

Director: Marion Potts.

Witty, romantic and deeply human, Cyrano de Bergerac unfolds with emotional scale and theatrical vibrancy in Sydney Theatre Company’s production. Jennifer Irwin’s costume designs evoke the play’s period world while placing character at the centre, from the swagger and bravado of soldiers and poets to the delicacy and strength of Roxane.

Through considered use of silhouette, detail and texture, her designs support both the linguistic sparkle of the text and the physical demands of the staging. The costumes heighten the contrasts between bravado and vulnerability, comedy and longing, helping bring Cyrano’s world to life with elegance, warmth and dramatic flair.
