THE STORY (Set in Spain in 1597)
Manuel de Cervantes, the author of “DON QUIXOTE” is imprisoned and while awaiting trial by the infamous Spanish Inquisition, he and his fellow prisoners act out the story he has written.
It tells of the deeds of Alonso Quijana, an elderly country gentleman “whose brains dry up” and who imagines he is a dauntless knight known as DON QUIXOTE de la MANCHA. Quijana has lain down the melancholy burden of sanity and decided to sally forth as the Don to right the wrongs in the world. At an inn he rescues a whore Aldonza from the drunken muleteers who brutalize her. Despite her speech and appearance he imagines her to be his lady – Dulcinea.
Together with his faithful servant Sancho he travels the land defending the honour of Dulcinea, seeing good in everyone until he is brought back to reality by the terrifying knight of the Mirrors.
Cervantes finishes his romantic story in the prison, just in time to face an uncertain future at the hands of the cruel Inquisition, to the wistful singing of Aldonza – The Impossible Dream.
