Some guys just got game. Don Juan. Cassanova. Cyrano de Bergerac. It always shocks me that more people aren't familiar with this one, as it's easily one of the best love stories ever, with one of the most accomplished lovers since Romeo wooed Juliet. A play so good, it literally introduced the word "panache" to the English language.

This is my very favorite of all plays, and this happens to be my favorite Translation. Burgess is very close to being a genius if not there already. The Poetry is so elegant that the first few times I read it I didn't even really notice it was there. It is not a perfect play, but I think it is more charming because of it's flaws. I do not have words to express the love that I have for this...more

My favorite love story. Funny, sad, romantic, I still cry at the end, no matter how many times I've read it.

I love this play. Cyrano is a bold, unique character; a genius in a world of befuddled fools. His individuality is his tragic flaw and all the time he faces the world with wit. If we could all be this man.

This is the best version of Cyrano out there, and is testament as to why this is my favorite play ever.
