This season, the Royal Shakespeare Company celebrates not only the 400th anniversary of the death of their namesake, but also that of Miguel de Cervantes, with a brand new adaptation of Don Quixote.

Taking up a lance and sword, he sets out to become a wandering knight, defending the helpless and vanquishing the wicked.
