Don Quixote

(is a very big book)

In his new one-man show, Dik Downey (Green Ginger, Pickled Image, Opposable Thumb) weaves together the insane delusions of Don Quixote with his own struggle with reality. With a gallery of rogues, figures, and desperate clowning, Dik's Quixote embarks on surreal and comic misadventures, accompanied by his wisecracking sidekick, Sancho Panza, and his jaded horse, Rocinante.

As Dik struggles to make the retelling of this enormous novel enjoyable for the audience, we also see something else – Dik’s refusal to give in to the passing of time. While Quixote pursues his impossible dreams of glory, Dik confronts his own diminishing relevance and mortality.

Here, laugh-out-loud moments and crazy reflections are mixed with the joys and humiliations of growing old and fighting the inevitable.
