Customer Reviews

WOW. EVERY TIME. Rostand created a masterpiece that may never be beaten.

I've seen it once (twice?) straight up and once modernized, I've read it in full and now I've read a second graphic adaptation yet I get the same overwhelming pleasure every time. How many laughs do you get out of the greatest tragedies? Do any of the greatest comedies illicit these kind of tears? Cyrano wears both masks of drama equally well with singular panache- the protuberance issuing forth marks the bulls-eye of theater.
