One of the most enduring love stories of all time. Cyrano de Bergerac is
the Platonic ideal of the fearless warrior who is paralyzed by romantic
yearning. Confident in battle, but relentlessly self-doubting in love,
Cyrano is unable to express his devotion to the beautiful Roxane. And
when she falls in love with a handsome young cadet named Christian,
Cyrano seizes the opportunity to use Christian as a proxy for his own
unrequited feelings.
