“When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies?
Too much sanity may be madness…”
A 1965 Broadway musical in one act—the wild tale of the “mad” knight Don Quixote as a play within a play, performed by Miguel de Cervantes and his fellow prisoners as he awaits a hearing with the Spanish Inquisition.
