About the Story

Romancers, The French poet and dramatist Edmond Eugène Alexis Rostand was born in Marseilles, France, in 1868 to a wealthy family. Rostand’s first play, Les Romanesques (“The Romancers”), is based on the 13th-century musical fable Aucassin and Nicolette. First produced in Paris in 1894, the play was an immediate hit with theatergoers and launched Rostand’s career as a playwright. Rostand wrote several other plays but is best known for his comedic masterpiece, Cyrano de Bergerac. Les Romanesques is the basis for the 1960 musical The Fantasticks.
