I just had to share this: in one of the SV tie-ins, it is apparently revealed that Lex's favorite play is Cyrano de Bergerac.
Of course it is, sweetie.
I just saw a production of Cyrano at the Shakespeare a few weeks ago. Nice production, but they're all three of them twits. It's funny -- played as epic, this story is my absolute favorite; played for smaller stakes, the happiness of three people, it drives me nuts. Ultimately, Cyrano is a selfish cad, stomping all over happiness because he's too stuck-up to accept life's little (or, to be fair, big) imperfections, like the fact that his lady love sees another as more beautiful, and Roxane's the same way -- though I may be unfair to her, seeing as he never gives her the chance to choose. Maybe I'd feel better if he could see that his choices were mistakes.
