Playing a strictly limited season at the Garrick Theatre, the production sees the return of\u00a0David Threlfall<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Rufus Hound<\/strong>\u00a0as the iconic duo, Don Quixote and Sancho Panza.<\/p>\n Adapted for the stage by journalist, literary critic and poet\u00a0James Fenton<\/strong>, the production is based on\u00a0Miguel de Cervantes\u2019<\/strong>\u00a0original novel of the same name, which follows the adventurous title character as he embarks on his own quest of chivalry after reading countless books.

\n<\/strong>Although quite a few people like to wear smart clothes for a trip to the theatre, feel free to wear whatever you feel comfortable in.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Arriving early is essential. There are often busy queues to collect tickets, and shows start right on time. Aim to arrive at least 30 minutes before the show starts.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>There\u2019s nothing wrong with carrying a plastic bottle of water, your own sandwiches to eat during the interval, or a little box of chocolates to share with a friend.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Yes. In fact, sipping a glass of wine or a G&T at the interval is positively encouraged, with interval drinks available to pre-order from the bar. But most theatres will ask you to transfer your drink into a plastic cup (safety first) before you return to your seat.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>It\u2019s pretty easy to work out when to clap at the theatre, but when in doubt wait until everyone else does. And enjoy yourself \u2013 this is the one part of the show where absolutely nobody can complain you\u2019re making too much noise.<\/p>\nNow you are ready for an amazing evening at the theatre here are some of our recommendations all with World Privilege Plus discounts in association with our partner See Tickets:<\/a><\/h4>\n
