Canadian-born, Yale-trained Peter Donat made his mark on the theatrical world with his rich portrayals of such larger-than-life characters as Cyrano de Bergerac. In Edmond Rostand's swashbuckling yet bittersweet comedy, the characters experience emotions on a heroic scale. The play's hero, Cyrano, is a magnificient wit whose pride masks a deep insecurity about his appearance-specifically, his abnormally large nose. His compelling love for the beautiful heroine, Roxanne, is the motivating force behind all the action in the play. With words from his own poet's heart, Cyrano wins Roxanne for another man, the tongue-tied but handsome Christian. Stars Peter Donat (War of the Roses) and four-time Oscar nominéé Marsha Mason (The Goodbye Girl) Starring : Peter Donat Marsha Mason Marc Singer Kathryn Crosby Originally staged for the theatre by The American Conservatory Theatre of San-Francisco DVD publié par Broadway theatre archive.
