David Threlfall and Rufus Hound return in RSC's Don Quixote at the Garrick Theatre. Tickets are sure to go quickly so secure yours now!

After a lifetime of reading books on chivalry, one eccentric old man heads off on a rumbustious quest to become a wandering knight accompanied by his faithful and equally ill-suited servant, ’riotously performed by David Threlfall as Don Quixote and Rufus Hound as Sancho Panza' (The Times).

Taking up a lance and sword, Don Quixote sets out on a hilarious journey across medieval Spain, defending the helpless and vanquishing the wicked. Hopelessly unprepared and increasingly losing his grip on reality, with each calamitous adventure the two hapless heroes experience, the romantic ideal of Quixote͛s books seems further away than ever.

Following its sell-out run at the Swan Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon in 2016 to mark the 400th anniversary of Cervantes' death, the Royal Shakespeare  Company's ‘joyous' (Guardian) production of this legendary comic novel is told by a company of 20 actors accompanied by a band of live musicians.

Adapted for the stage by James Fenton (The Orphan of Zhao, 2012) and directed by Angus Jackson (Oppenheimer, 2014 / ROME  MMXVII,  2017)  this 'boisterous romp' (The Times) arrives at the Garrick Theatre for a strictly limited 14-week season from 27 October.

Thoroughly enjoyable. Good be miked at little better but a minor cavil. Funnier than I was expecting. Rufus Hound excellent, David Threlfall marvellous. Everyone looked like they were enjoying themselves on stage and this translated to the audience. Great night out.

CLIVE RUSHWORTH

This was so funny and brilliantly performed by a thoroughly competent and hard working cast. The lead actors complemented each other so well. Best theatre I have seen for a while.

Danny D'Anzieri

This was bare jokes. Trust man was creasing regular blud. That one funny brere made it sick and some of the girls were buff still. It’s a 5 from me standard. Best wishes, Danny

The play was brilliant. I was sat in a restricted view seat (grand circle, C24) which was fine as the price paid was very low. However, it was not properly indicated on my ticket or the website - as a result people next to me (who were not as prepared to have a restricted view) left at the interval. This isn't a complaint, just a suggestion to have this better indicated online and through the ticketing process.

Keith Nicholls

Was not sure what to expect, but great theatrical experience. Booked around 12:30 and saw it at 19:30 that evening, with my wife. Wanted to see it before current run finished at the Garrick.

Annie Larner

Witty ,energetic,interactive,wonderful production. Theatre seats need restuffing so I found it a bit long to remain comfortable !

Rosalyn McGill

Robert Mortimer

Excellent production - enjoyed every moment

DAVID ETHERINGTON

Excellent clear production faithful to the novel.

Shirley Fogg

Started off really well then slowly began to drag. Could have been 30 minutes shorter than perhaps I would have enjoyed it more.

CustomerDerek Demant

I did not go as I am disabled and did not want to walk on icy pavements.

Mr David Bryars

A very enjoyable funny show

West End transfer and main cast announced for RSC's Don Quixote

Hilarious RSC play Don Quixote, which sees a noble Spaniard take up a lance and sword as he endeavours to bring back chivalry, is set to transfer to London's West End following a successful run at the Swan Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon back in 2016. Its new home will be the Garrick Theatre after Young Frankenstein finishes its critically acclaimed and award-winning run in August.
