James Ridge (left) plays the swashbuckling Cyrano with passion and vulnerability.
Edmond Rostand’s achingly beautiful 1897 romance celebrates love, poetry and independence. The production is uniformly excellent, with a talented cast balancing pathos and comedy. But the star of the show is veteran James Ridge, who portrays the lovestruck philosopher/swordsman with equal parts passion and vulnerability. Through Oct. 6.
