Original Review

Like about 85 percent of the populace, I only know the shorthand version of "Cyrano de Bergerac": Guy with long nose helps friend woo woman who big nose really desires, feeding other guy lines while she's on balcony.
(That and the 1987 Steve Martin movie "Roxanne," which contains a sliver of Edmond Rostand's original storyline.)

Fall: The Winter's Tale by William Shakespeare

Leontes, King of Sicily, overcome by a sudden, maddening, unreasoning jealousy, sets out to destroy his marriage, family, and kingdom—all in the name of justice. One of the late great romances, an exploration of the worth and price of redemption, rich in love, music, and comedy with an unforgettable conclusion, The Winter's Tale is William Shakespeare at his most affecting and most profound.

performed at the Village Theatre, Davenport, IA
