Small note
Yesterday, P & I went to see Cyrano (he missed it due to family matters last month, so I grabbed us cheap tickets for going again).
Closing performance. Very much closing performance - yes, it was everything it should have been, but moments were held a little more, a little sweeter yesterday.
My favourite?
When De Guiche is explaining that NO ONE could retrieve his white scarf (his mark of rank) from the battlefield that was held by the Spanish, Cyrano pulls the scarf out of his pocket.
When we saw it early October? He put his hand in his pocket and presented the scarf.
Last night?
It was almost teasingly slow - at least until the first flash of white came out of the pocket, and when the audience reacted, the two actors held the moment.
It was glorious. It was very much the Gascony arrogance and bravery that is Cyrano.
Mr. Feore? Thank you for letting me see my hero breathe again. You earned my tears this time.
