I recently saw the documentary Catfish, and was struck by the similarities to the Cyrano play. It's interesting how Cyrano gets the audience's sympathy even though he is a blatant manipulator. In Catfish, the woman with the corresponding role gets painted as borderline psychotic, which may be warranted. There are other differences as well, but it's interesting how big a difference the gender swap makes.
