Martin Crimp est un dramaturge britannique réputé pour l'âpreté de ses dialogues et un ton de détachement émotionnel. Ses œuvres explorent souvent une perspective sombre des relations humaines, où les personnages éprouvent rarement l'amour ou la joie. De plus en plus, l'attention de Crimp s'est déplacée vers la forme et le langage théâtral, s'éloignant des préoccupations narratives traditionnelles. Son style distinctif offre une exploration stimulante et provocatrice de la connexion humaine.
Affublé d'un nez proéminent qui l'empêche de déclarer à sa cousine l'amour qu'il éprouve pour elle, Cyrano est un homme d'une noblesse rare : il aidera son rival, qu'il sait aimé de la belle, à la conquérir. Rostand a signé avec cette comédie héroïque un chef-d'oeuvre de la littérature universelle.
