Cyrano de Bergerac

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)If there's one thing that has me miffed, it's those ridiculous academic critiques of this play. Yes, it's unrealistic, yes, it's energetic to the point of insanity, yes, the character of Cyrano is particularly vulnerable to the ridiculous Freudian analyses that Lit. professors are obsessed with. But the essence of this work, what makes it breathe, are the very qualities so mocked by elitists: its color, its flamboyance, and above all its wonderfully...Read Full Story

Portraits suggest that he did have a big nose, though not nearly as large as described in Rostand's play and...Read Full Story
