CYRANO at Amphibian Stage Productions (Near Southside) — FINAL WEEKEND
Through February 24th
Who wins the battle of beauty versus brains? Cyrano is a swordsman, philosopher, poet, and raconteur-everything that the love of his life, Roxane, would want. There’s just one problem: his nose is colossal, which makes him unworthy of her affection (or so he believes). Enter Christian, a tongue-tied, yet handsome, young cadet. Surely together they can win Roxane’s heart. Off-Broadway sensation Kate Hamill (Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Vanity Fair) leads a cast of five in this imaginative version of the classic tale.
