Cyrano de Bergerac - Book Review,
by Edmond Rostand

Choice, July/August 1995 Marowitz has rendered Rostand's...play in an informal and speakable iambic pentameter.
Book Description In this fresh and innovative translation by director Charles Marowitz, Edmond Rostand's lyrical, capering and grandiloquent verse is captured in a brish, free-wheeling modern diction eminently suited for the skills and sensibilities of modern actors. Refreshed and freed from the academic heaviness of previous translations, Marowitz has fashioned an English version which will give actors and directors a powerful new impetus for reviving this classic work.
