What it’s about. This version of "El Ingenioso Hidalgo Don Quijote De La Mancha" brings the ancient tale to modern day but all the old familiar names are there. As in Cervantes's tale, Don Quixote is persistent in his belief in chivalry and honor. He clings to the old ways and is reluctant to give way to modern behaviors. He sees things in a different way, the smoke stack of a factory is a beast to be conquered, his bicycle is his trusty steed and the hapless man stranded by a transit strike who tries to help suddenly finds himself to be the sidekick to the deluded Quixote.
Who’s in it. Tilt stars Tom Braidwood as Sam Penzer, John R. Taylor as Don Quixote, Glenn Taranto as Miguel Saavedra and Babs Chula as Alda Lawrence, among others.
How it landed. With an audience score of 10.0/10, Tilt sits among the best-reviewed titles in the catalogue.
