Man of La Mancha
Poet in Prison Puts on a Play.
Seattle Musical Theatre kicked off the 2014-2015 Season with Man of La Mancha, a 1965 Tony Award winning adaptation of the novel Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes. Considered the first novel ever written, it was published in two volumes in 1605 and 1615, that is to say long after its subject matter, Chivalry and Knights, had ceased to exist.
