About:
Dik Downey's mid-life crisis crashes headlong into Don Quixote's crazed
delusions. With a rogue's gallery of puppets and desperate clowning,
Quixote embarks on surreal, comic misadventures with sidekick Sancho Panza
and decrepit horse, Rocinante.
Dik fights to make this huge novel joyous to a contemporary audience. But as Quixote chases impossible dreams, Dik faces his own dwindling relevance and mortality. A laugh-out-loud international co-production on the indignities of fighting the inevitable.
