      Come ride along with Don Quixote and his trusty squire Sancho on a quixotic quest for knightly glory! This adaptation combines some of the best adventures from Miguel de Cervantes' masterpiece, including the courtly love quadrangle of Cardenio and company, the mischievously meta-aware Duke and Duchess, the ruthless Pasamonte Gang, and of course, those notorious windmills. This three-act adventure intricately weaves heart and humor as it builds to a surprising, action-packed climax at a roadside inn. A mixture of linguistic styles-from dramatic chivalric prose to casual slang-helps drive the comedy and makes the play feel fresh and accessible to modern audiences.
