I went to see Cyrano de Bergerac at the Chichester Festival theatre on Tuesday night. This production is directed by Trevor Nunn. It was with some trepidation that I sat down to enjoy the performance, knowing that it was over 3 hours long.
Joseph Fiennes played the part of Cyrano with great finesse and a great nose. By the end of the play the nose did not catch your eye and you felt for the person underneath. Joseph Fiennes did an excellent job in the part. In the review outside the theatre it said that people were crying at the end. I did not see anybody crying but I did feel moved. It is not a happy ending due to his unrequited love for Roxanne.
The other cast members did a very good job and the set pieces were stunning particularly the battle scene at the barricades. Trevor Nunn is used to directing action scenes as his most famous work, Les Mis, shows.
