Thrown into a dungeon during the Spanish Inquisition, Miguel de Cervantes stages an improvised play to defend his unfinished manuscript from fellow prisoners. He becomes the elderly knight Don Quixote, who tilts at windmills he mistakes for giants, transforms a common serving girl into his lady Dulcinea, and inspires his faithful squire Sancho Panza with the impossible dream of making the world a better place. Mitch Leigh's musical celebrates the power of imagination and the nobility of idealism in the face of a brutal world.
