“The most perceptive character in a play is the fool, because the man who wishes to seem simple cannot possibly be a simpleton.”
23 August to 28 September, The Covered Market, Oxford
Our Don Quixote, adapted and directed by Jonathan Holloway, will remain faithful to Cervantes’ beautiful paean to growing old while simultaneously re-fashioning it as a fable for our times. A Honda 50cc moped represents a noble steed, a folding Formica topped camping table accommodates a great feast, the woman in accounts handing out the P45s stands-in as Dom’s unattainable beauty, Dulcinea del Toboso.
