In the golden age of radio, when television began its ascent to dominance in the realm of entertainment, there was a beacon of high culture that illuminated the airwaves: "Great Scenes From Great Plays." This venerable program, broadcasted during the winter of 1948, offered discerning listeners a respite from the emerging TV craze, presenting adaptations of timeless literary works that spanned the breadth of human emotion and experience.

One such gem nestled within its archives is a captivating excerpt from "Cyrano De Bergerac," the timeless tale of unrequited love, valor, and the power of wit. Written by Edmond Rostand, this classic play transports audiences to 17th-century France, where the gallant yet self-conscious Cyrano, gifted with a sharp tongue and a poetic soul, pines for the love of the beautiful Roxane.
