1 Tale, 3 Hearts: Peter Dinklage in CYRANO - A Modern, Timeless Romance
Go behind the scenes of award-winning director Joe Wright's lush, musical retelling of the timeless tale of Cyrano de Bergerac. Set against a baroque cityscape, CYRANO is a symphony of romance and beauty that belies a heartbreaking love triangle. Cyrano de Bergerac (Peter Dinklage) can dazzle with wordplay and swordplay but convinced that his appearance renders him unworthy of love, he refuses to declare his feelings for his cherished friend Roxanne (Haley Bennett). When Roxanne falls in love at first sight with another, Cyrano – resigned to never being more than friends – instead devotes himself to helping her new suitor (Kelvin Harrison Jr) find the right words to win her heart. CYRANO is written by Erica Schmidt, adapted from her own stage play. The score is by Bryce and Aaron Dessner of The National, with songs from the Dessners, Matt Berninger and Carin Besser.
The Voice and Soul Behind the Letters
Peter Dinklage explores finding his CYRANO. Director Joe Wright and co-stars Haley Bennett and Kelvin Harrison Jr. discuss the unique skill and heart Peter brings to the role, in a performance Variety hailed as “simply sublime.”
