A manuscript sold for €300 is now attributed to Cyrano de Bergerac – but questions remain about the play’s authorship.

French researchers recently published an edition of a previously unknown 17th-century French play that they argue could be attributed to the French satirist and dramatist Savinien de Cyrano de Bergerac.

Duns festival

I know we might be considered to bring it upon ourselves - fighting everyone north and south of the border, but the festival has been a brilliant showacse for new talent as well as established writers and performers. Not far from many in southern Scotland and worth a look.

Friday 2- Saturday 10 May.

Have to confess a bias, a neighbour who writes for much TV&Theatre has a piece here.
