Opera del 1897 che è ancora attuale, di facile lettura, con un insegnamento profondo. Lo stile è ritmato, rimato e di facile comprensione anche come pièce scritta; si riesce perfettamente ad immergersi nell'atmosfera ricreata da Cyrano de Bergerac, uno spadaccino che sconfigge tutti con la sua affilata arma e si nasconde dietro il suo imponente naso. Tutti conosciamo la storia di Cyrano, ma leggerla fa bene a riscoprire tesori passati: passa da un registro divertente e sopra le righe tra guasconi ad uno più intimo e delicato con Rossana.
This is a play with everything. Cyrano is a brave, intelligent trooper cursed with an extraordinarily large proboscis that, he believes, makes him unlovable . He falls madly in love with Roxanne who, in turn, loves the handsome but dull-witted Christian. Yet, ultimately, it is Cyrano's words that win over Roxanne -if only she knew the architect of such splendid love poems and letters. This is a play that is humorous and tragic and totally enthralling.

Easily one of my favorite plays. Sometimes plays don’t always have the same impact on paper as they do on stage; this is not one of those times. I can easily visualize the characters, the banter, the scene...truly one of the best.
So witty and fun. I was surprised at how much I highly enjoyed this play from the 1890s. Rostand's Cyrano is brilliant and original.
Super fun! Read it in French and despite all the poetic terms I was able to follow along. I particularly enjoyed the conscious ridiculousness of characters such as Cerano's good friend who is a baker/poet, and recites poems to brioches and croissants and such. Bought it on in a whim in Strasbourg and did not regret it.

L'histoire la meilleure, la plus drôle et la plus tragique sur le polyamour, et aussi la guerre, pour une raison quelconque.

There was nothing about this play that I liked. I guess I in general don't like the tale of Cyrano, but I also didn't like the writing of it here. The dialogue was choppy and unnatural, and I never cared about any of the characters. The one scene in which Cyrano lists off possible insults for his nose was a bit enjoyable, but the rest of it felt like a slog and I just wanted it to end.
It just wasn't for me.
