I think Kline's Cyrano was often too funny in emotionally charged scenes, yes, but I adored how he was particularly vicious, rurthless and violent at times when crossed. The mix of being fun yet terrible worked so well. The way Cyrano says, smiling, the "Even if you possessed the words and wit / I'd never let you get away with it" line encompassed that perfectly.

#The way he doesn't slap but full on hits the musketeer against the table?#How he cuts Valvert's nose in what was a gesture that brought to mind that he was cutting it off?#Oh I love those bits #As @theimpossiblescheme told me‚ this Cyrano felt often sardonically jaded and that was such an interesting take on the character #Truly this production was brilliant in some regards. It had very good ideas at times #I talk too much #I should probably delete this later #Cyrano de Bergerac #Oh I forgot to mention at a certain point when Cyrano was going on about how unlovable he was due to his ugliness #I was like 'I'm not buying this'#And in part it was due to Kline's age. I'm sorry sir but you're like what? Sixty? And you look like that #And are super fit. I wish I were able to climb a tree like that #And the nose wasn't even ugly. They gave him a pretty nose #If he were young as he is supposed to be I'd buy it. He's in his early to mid twenties. In his twenties to be broad. He's an idiot. Okay #But by Kline's age he'd surely have gotten a bit over the nose enough to idk #acknowledge that even Cyrano's charm aside he is quite fit and pretty for a man his age?#And he's saying all that virtually in front of that Ragueneau that seemed to have been characterised as particularly ugly #I'm sorry but I'm not buying it #And yes yes Cyrano is all about how he's charming and attractive due to his personality #and yet doesn't realise he is because of being obsessed with the body #But like... I'd sign for looking like him NOW go figure at 60 lol
