Synopsis: Dating from 1897, the story describes the misadventures of the valiant and tragic Cyrano, whose enormous nose prevents him from securing the adoration of the demure and much-admired Roxane. Instead, Cyrano expresses his love by writing billets-doux on behalf of his gorgeous but vapid soldier-friend Christian, which are duly delivered to Roxane in Christian's name. It doesn't help that Roxane was Cyrano's childhood friend, or that Christian's wit is as slow as Cyrano's is fast. Will our Quixotic chevalier win the heart of his beloved, or he be stymied by his own self-loathing? | ||||

Synopsis: the story of a beautiful woman who has decided to marry Jorgen Tesman, an academic of limited skill and ambition who adores her, rather than his brilliant, drunken colleague Lovborg, who actually loves her. Tesman, a historian who spent most of his honeymoon doing field work, is desperate for a University appointment so that he can continue to keep Hedda in the style to which she would prefer to become accustomed. Lovborg, who has thrown off the drink with great difficulty, has (with a lover and silent partner) written a fabulously successful treatise and is ready to introduce an even more significant work. Hedda, recognizing that her old lover is a threat to her new husbands prosperity, reintroduces Lovborg to the sauce, and after that the bad things happen. - Tim Treanor, dc theatre scene | ||||
