Creative, compelling, wholly theatrical, this unique play drills into a moment in history, spilling forth a river of politics, economy, societal structures, and proverbial family questions, that feel relevant to today. Ho's dialogue engages with wit and an underlying humanness.

The fictional knight of Cervantes appears in Bejing during the spring of 1989 to inspire a young man who sees himself as a harsh realist during a season of hope and idealism. Cervantes' Quixote was mad, and madness led him from a life of unhappiness to one of wonder and magic. Do we need to be insane to hope for freedom? To have the passion to fight against incredible odds? Ho has created an urgent fable based on true events, celebrating youth, freedom, and the importance of ideals in the face of oppression. Timely and immediate. Highly recommended!
