Cyrano de Bergerac by Rostand (Derek Jacobi 1985 TV) 1/17

[QueenBoadicea]

This is one of my favorite plays in the pantheon of theater and I saw Derek Jacobi with the RSC perform it live so many years ago. I still have the T-shirt from the production in my drawer!

what a romantic story --- in both senses of the word 

[Prionic77]

I watched this years ago; the last time was on Bravo, back in the 90's, before it turned into reality tv tripefest. I always wanted to see this production again but wasn't sure which it was; lo and behold thanks to the combination of IMDB and youtube here I am! Thank you very much for adding this.

I would immagine Jayne Tottma, has well and truly left the acting profession by now, and is likely working in a bank, a building society, an office, a library, running a pub, running a restaurant or even working as a car mechanic, Many child actors and actresses leave the acting profession, after a period because they don,t want to be professional actors and actresses and they want a more regular job or they are unlucky in the acting profesion and cannot make it as actors and actresses.

Thank you so much for posting this. What a shame, though, that they didn't use the superior Hooker translation :(

This adaptation by Burgess is crisp and cunning. Thanks so much for posting it!

[Leconciergecanfly]

It looks great, but can't I just find anything in French? T_T

I love Cyrano de Bergerac and I was wondering if you had the play with Kevin Kline in it

[BearHeart13]

Having read Cyrano and all of Shakespeares known plays ("The Norton Shakespeare"), it is a pleasure to see them. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for posting this tour de force; I saw this production of Cyrano and the simultaneous run of Much Ado in London in 1983 and again on Broadway in 1984; I have very fond memories of that run and am delighted to see this here. It brings back some wonderful times.

[TheJillers]

Thank you for this! This is my favorite version of Cyrano, and the version I use as a base of comparison to every other version.

I play ligniere in the Burroughs high school play of Ridgecrest California!

This is the Best version of Cyrano ever. Derek Jacobi does a Fantastic job portraying The Heroic Cyrano. Thanks for posting this.

thank you thank you thank you....this production changed my life...but it was 1983, not 85, i have it on beta max! its that old....I saw the fiennes version at chichester this year but was disappointing - even for trevor nun. This will never be bettered in my view.

I have been wanting this ever since i read about the RCS performance.

Wonder why I didn´t catch it, when it was shown in Denmark.
