Cyrano presented by Theatre Above The Law at The Jarvis Square Theater

Windy City Times - Somewhat Recommended

"...Coming up short of perfection after embarking on an undertaking as ambitious as a makeover of a five-act museum piece is no disgrace, though. When choosing to include discussions based in, say, 17th-century military protocol ( Cyrano and the men are soldiers, by the way ), or Roxanne's genealogical connections to her suitors, Dalberg may have overestimated the average storefront-circuit playgoer's familiarity with the source material, but under the lively direction of Tony Lawry, the agile ensemble delves their text for its rom-com elements—assisted by the playwright, himself, serving in the persona of the factotum Ligniere ( whose name is mocked in ingenious ways ). Some of the literary arrows may have misfired during this first-weekend performance, but Isabella Snow and Brittany Vogel endow Cyrano and Donna's camaraderie with sufficient romance to lend charm to its proverbial rocky road."
