Edmond Rostand did what I thought was impossible, and knocked Arthur Miller out of the top spot as my favorite playwright. The tragically romantic tale of Cyrano de Bergerac surprisingly won me over even though I'm not much of a romance fan. Call me weird but I have a love for stories where it doesn't end well for the protagonist, and to be honest I think that's why I loved this play. Interestingly, when I bought the play it came with the 1950's movie adaptation staring Jose Ferrer. I did the right thing of course and read the play first, but if you are looking for a really good adaptation of the play I highly recommend this as well.
Love love LOVED Cyrano!!! I kept seeing the trailer for the upcoming movie with Peter Dinklage, and so I took the plunge and got the play. I thought it was phenomenal, and Peter Dinklage is made for this role. I'm so glad I got to read this now, and this just further cements my love for realism and romanticism in literature.
Si heureuse d’avoir enfin découvert ce classique, d’avoir lu pour la première fois ces fameuses scènes, celles des « Ah! » et celle du balcon. ✨

Cyrano é um romântico <3
Dream, laugh, go lightly, solitary, free,
With eyes that look straight forward- fearless voice!
To cock your beaver just the way you choose,
For “yes” or “no” show fight, or turn a rhyme!

Re-read for me, so I could have an annotated copy, and it really is one of my favorites ever. So much love in silence and from afar, and genuine care despite circumstances make me desire a Cyrano of my own. 5 stars, it’s my favorite, can’t help it, do 100% recommend.
