Anteater TV Interview with the cast and crew : Man of La Mancha @ UCI in Irvine – Video

November 14 – 22, 2015
Irvine Barclay Theatre

Miguel de Cervantes, aging and an utter failure as playwright, poet and tax collector, has been thrown into a dungeon in Seville to await trial by the Spanish Inquisition for an offense against the Church. There he is dragged before a kangaroo court of his fellow prisoners, who plan to confiscate his few possessions—including the uncompleted manuscript of a novel, Don Quixote. Cervantes, seeking to save the manuscript, proposes his defense in the form of a play. The “court” agrees, and Cervantes and his manservant apply make-up and costumes, transforming themselves into Don Quixote and Sancho Panza. Quixote – a man of questionable sanity – and Sancho take to the road in a quest to restore the age of chivalry, battle all evil, and right all wrongs. Taken from UCI website
