"Cyrano, Virginia Gay’s provocative adaptation of Rostand’s classic, has finally made it to the stage at the Melbourne Theatre Company – and it’s a triumph."
The Saturday Paper
"Virginia Gay shines in this bold, queer reimagining
After being scuppered by a snap lockdown in 2021, Gay’s highly anticipated take on Cyrano turns out to have been worth waiting for...
Feeling a deep connection with the original and given it was out of copyright, Virginia Gay was encouraged by Director Sarah Goodes to write her own version of this much adapted narrative and to her absolute credit she did just that. "
Australian Stage
"Marvellous direction from Sarah Goodes sees Cyrano emerge as one of MTC’s finest works."
The Blurb
"I haven’t experienced the level of euphoria, giddiness, joy, and, most importantly, the feeling of hope after a work of art like I did with Cyrano for the longest time."
The Curb
"A big hearted play."
Artshub
"COSI is a heartwarming tribute to theatre while being a timely reminder that love should be more important then prejudice and fear. Sarah Goodes has created a wonderful production that is uplifting, engaging and delightfully mad with good balance of farcical humour and intimate human interaction."
