National Theater Live: Cyrano de Bergerac (2019). 2h 40m

“I canu0026#39;t speak to the jumpiness of the camera as I was at the event live – not u0026quot;Liveu0026quot;.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMy wife, whou0026#39;d bought the tickets, was ill with racking cough, just-pre-covid, so I was pleased she didnu0026#39;t go, much though I missed her.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eInstead I went with a friend of hers and OMG the visceral delivery and emotional power McAvoy put into this performance and performances of the rest of the cast meant I hardly even noticed the scenery or lack thereof. I have been looking for a copy of this everywhere to watch with my wife, who tires of me telling her how amazing it was – I particularly want to see close ups of the actors as they deliver their lines – we were in the stalls but some way back – I would pay the full ticket fee again just to relive those couple of hours, u0026quot;evenu0026quot; on DVD.”
