Montgomery Theater, Too Auditions
Don Quixote
Novel by Miguel de Cervantes | Adapted by Adam Danoff
Don Quixote is a comfortably retired gentleman of Spain who loves his library and stories of medieval knights. He decides to take up the lance himself to revive the ideals of chivalry and adventure. To accompany him in his journey he recruits a loyal sidekick in the form of the simple farmer, Sancho Panza. Blurring the lines of reality and fantasy, the two travel the countryside encountering all manner of misinterpreted quests and challenges.
Cervantes’ epic novel is considered a founding work of Western Literature, inspiring countless translations and adaptations, and inspiring many other literary works. This new adaptation features characters who transition from English to Spanish and back, and was developed incorporating Cervantes’ original words whenever possible.
