Cervantes’ comic masterpiece The Ingenious Gentleman of La Mancha, Don Quixote tells the story of a man who sets out to recreate the chivalric world of his literary imagination in the
brutal reality of seventeenth-century rural Spain. It is widely acknowledged as one of the greatest novels ever written.
This stage adaptation, a collaboration between two of the most imaginative playwrights from Spain and Britain, was specially commissioned by West Yorkshire Playhouse, where it was directed by Josep Galindo in September 2007.
