Edwin Morgan's Cyrano de Bergerac: (Scotnotes Study Guides)

Edwin Morgan's brilliant Glasgow-based Scots translation of Edmond Rostand's Cyrano de Bergerac is one of the most successful productions in modern Scottish theatre. Fresh, clever and dynamic, Morgan's refashioning of the play establishes a cultural bond between the classic French play and Scotland's own dramatic and literary heritage. John Corbett's SCOTNOTE provides a succinct background to Edmond Rostand and his original play - first performed in Paris, 1897 - as well as to Edwin Morgan and his 1992 Scots verse translation, and is a perfect introduction for senior school pupils and students of all ages.
