VIDEO: Director James DeVita Discusses CYRANO DE BERGERAC AT American Players Theatre

Director James DeVita discusses directing CYRANO DE BERGERAC, as well as Cyrano as a character, at American Players Theatre.

Cyrano de Bergerac is a fearless soldier. A loyal braggadocio. And a man furiously self-conscious about his very protuberant nose. He's also a man in love with a woman (Roxane) who's in love with someone else (Christian), and promised in marriage to yet another (De Guiche). When Christian is assigned to Cyrano's platoon, Roxane begs him to protect her love, which Cyrano reluctantly agrees to do. And when Christian in turn begs Cyrano to help him woo Roxane, a plot unfurls that begs the question: does love truly lie in the eyes or in the soul?
