Don Quixote
Monday 12 June
THEATRE MODO in DON QUIXOTE
by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra
Directed and adapted by Martin Danziger
“In order to attain the impossible, one must attempt the absurd”
A new retelling of the great story concentrates on one man’s desire to recreate a world of adventure and excitement and to champion good in the face of all odds. Combining the original feats of derring-do with a thoroughly modern take on the transformatory poer of the imagination, Theatre Modo creates an extraordinary and enchanting tale for our times. In a glorious celebration of our capacity for optimism, this witty and beautiful show makes us question our lifestyles, principles and perceptions.
