This timeless tale has been revised, revived, and revisited in countless iterations, and now Gloucester Stage Company presents the New England premiere of CYRANO, a new version written with a contemporary spin by Jason O’Connell and Brenda Withers.
Using modern, accessible language and paring down the cast (five actors play more than a dozen characters), the script is mostly fast, often loose, and sometimes loosey-goosey. Director Robert Walsh draws strong performances from the ensemble, three of
whom are making their Gloucester Stage debuts, and doubles as fight director, choreographing an exciting bit of sword play involving the entire cast. Performances through August 11th. |
