The Romancers A Comedy in Three Acts

Edmond Eugène Alexis Rostand (French; 1 April 1868 - 2 December 1918) was a French poet and dramatist. He is associated with neo-romanticism, and is known best for his play Cyrano de Bergerac. Rostand's romantic plays contrasted with the naturalistic theatre popular during the late nineteenth century. Another of Rostand's works, Les Romanesques, was adapted to the musical comedy, The Fantasticks.Les Romanesques, 1894 (basis for the 1960 off-Broadway musical The Fantasticks)
