Don QuixoteAdapted by Peter Anderson and Colin Heath
Directed by Roy Surette

Incorporating mask work, flamenco, bawdy slapstick and poignant beauty, this new adaptation of the classic Cervantes novel explores the comical and philosophical world of Don Quixote, a retired country gentleman, who has become obsessed with ancient books of knighthood and chivalry. Inspired by his readings, he sets out on a quest to defend the helpless and destroy the wicked, alongside his faithful and naive squire, Sancho Panza, to whom he has promised wealth and power. Preceded by their reputations everywhere they go, they eventually find themselves asking: Who’s mad in a world gone mad?
