The production for this play is headed up director Jamie Lloyd and he is joined by Ranjit Bolt the translator. Soutra Gilmour does the set and costume design, Japhy Weideman is the light designer and Amanda Miller the hair and wig designer.

Dan Moses Schreier is the sound designer and is supported by Charlie Rosen who is in charge of music. Chris Bailey deals with movement of the characters and Jacob Grigolia-Rosenbaum is the fight director while Kate Wilson is the dialect coach.

"Cyrano De Bergerac," is a work of Frenchman Edmond Rostand written in 1897. Rostand's main character "Hercule Savinien Cyrano de Bergerac," is a soldier in the French Army and along with that he is a remarkable duelist, poet and musician.

However he stands out not through his talents but by his extremely deformed and bulbous nose. This feature creates self-doubt in the nobleman and inhibits him from expressing his love for his love "Roxanne."
