Synopsis
Swordsman, poet, philosopher, Cyrano de Bergerac. His musketeer-heroics combine with rapier wit, but the bravado belies a passionate love for his exquisite cousin, Roxane. Too ugly to win her for himself, or so he thinks, he agrees to woo her on behalf of another. His tender verse gives voice to the inarticulate, dashing Christian, gaining him her heart just before both men depart for war. A wildly romantic story laced with swagger, gallantry and sacrifice.
Our Review:
10 August 2010
Cyrano de Bergerac needs little introduction: it is a story of the man in possession of the sharpest wit in France; the greatest literary mind; most fearsome sword skills and, of course, a hooter that crosses several national borders.
Perfect in every way apart from his unfortunate marrow-sized schnoz, our hero has to battle with his unrequited love for Roxane, while courting her on behalf of the beautiful but thick Christian (played by Philip Scott-Wallace's and baring an alarming resemblance to Prince William). Too dense to express his amore with eloquence; and too nasal for a kiss to be a logistical possibility – together the pair make up one whole of that mythical creature: The Perfect Man and win the heart of Roxane.
Black and White Rainbow deliver good swashbuckling romantic action in the form of rhyming couplets from Edward Rostrand's classic play, at the minimally designed yet intimate space of the White Bear.
