Get Some Romance Lessons in this MUST DO Date Night

Cyrano de Bergerac. Does this ring a bell? What about Roxanne with Steve Martin? Well, in case you did not know, Roxanne was based on the play Cyrano de Bergerac by Edmond Rostand, and Shakespeare Dallas is currently doing Cyrano and As You Like It thru July 23, 2011(Chris Hury plays Cyrano de Bergerac and is absolute perfection).


Anyway, this is a must do date night. Why? The warm, beautiful Texas nights, the perfect place to picnic, and some of the most romantic and imaginative words packed into a great play, that's why. Do it! Calligrapher's tip: Remember the tip from last week to write each other love letters?  Well, if you do not have the words, this play contains plenty.   If you want to make it extra special you could have a calligrapher write the words down for you.

Together you can go on a journey through the human condition, witness levels of love that soar to the heavens, and marvel at the scope of this playwright's mind in just a few hours of bliss (and it's not even Shakespeare).

So go and have a fantastic time. You will have so much fun, you will want to get a membership for Shakespeare Dallas!

As a little treat, enjoy this past live performance of a group called UTFO performing the song Roxanne, Roxanne (1984). It too has some great play with words on the theme of a "hard to get" Roxanne.
