WHAT IS IT ABOUT?

Academy Award and Tony Award winner Kevin Kline and Golden Globe winner Jennifer Garner star in a new production of Cyrano de Bergerac, Edmond Rostand's 1897 romantic classic, with a translation and adaptation by Anthony Burgess. David Leveaux directs.

The soulful poet/philosopher and brilliant swordsman Cyrano (Kline), a cadet in the French Army, falls for the beautiful, strong-willed Roxane (Garner), but is too ashamed of his large nose to tell her. Instead, when he learns that she loves the handsome Christian de Neuvillette (Daniel Sunjata), his dim-witted comrade, he pens poetry and love letters to Roxane on Christian's behalf.

Rostand's play -- seen here in a vibrant and poetic translation/adaptation by Anthony Burgess -- follows the travails of Cyrano whose quick wit, bravery, and skill with both pen and sword win him far more enemies than friends. He is desperately in love with his beauteous cousin Roxane (Jennifer Garner), but fears his deformed f[...]
