A must see
The Royal Shakespeare Company’s critically-acclaimed production of Don Quixote is making its long-awaited transfer to the West End Garrick Theatre this autumn (27th October 2018- 2nd February 2019)
Starring Shameless’ David Threlfall and TV and stage comedian and actor Rufus Hound, this adaptation by award-winning poet, journalist and literary critic James Fenton is set to be a rib-tickling show and an absolute must-see.
Don’t miss Don Quixote, a joyous and moving production of a classic tale, given new life through in a lyrical adaptation both profound and hilarious.
About the play
After a lifetime of reading books on chivalry, Don Quixote decides to embark on a quest of his own.
Taking up a lance and sword, he sets out to become a wandering knight, defending the helpless and vanquishing the wicked. Hopelessly unprepared and increasingly losing his grip on reality, he travels across Spain accompanied by his faithful and equally ill-suited squire.
Expect a labyrinthine world of rogues, merchants, shepherds, galley-slaves and windmills to unfold, as Don Quixote and Sancho embark on rampant and absurd quests in a brilliantly energised reinvention of the farcical epic.
