Ah, sweet love! If only it were that easy. How do you go on when you can't declare your love? What happens to the noble heart that aches? Cyrano de Bergerac courts the dreamer inside us all, drawing us into a world of wit, mischief, passion and panache. Valiant hearts pursue ideals – courage, beauty and, above all, love – without compromise and despite enormous hardship. In Cyrano we meet a superb heroic maniac, a swashbuckling master poet whose actions and sacrifice speak louder than words about the transcendent capacity of the human spirit.
