Rental Costumes for Man of Lamancha
Authors: Dale Wasserman (book), Mitch Leigh (music), Joe Darion (lyrics) inspired by Miguel de Cervantes' 17th-century novel, Don Quixote
Time Period: late 1590s around the height of the Spanish Inquisition
Setting: A dark, stone prison dungeon in Seville, Spain and the countryside of La Mancha, Spain
Summary: Playwright, poet, and tax collector Miguel de Cervantes is thrown into a Seville dungeon by the Spanish Inquisition for committing an offense against the church. His fellow inmates subject Cervantes to a mock trial to steal his belongings, most notably his cherished, unfinished manuscript about a man named Alonso Quijana. To save his work, Cervantes proposes a trial of make-believe. He and his manservant transform themselves with props and makeup into the aging country squire Alonso Quijana, who goes mad and renames himself Don Quixote de la Mancha. Enlisting the other prisoners as characters, Quixote and his loyal squire Sancho Panza set out on the open road to "right all wrongs," but reality eventually intrudes, shattering his illusion.

Durable Costumes
Durable Costumes
Our costumes are not brand-new. In fact, they've appeared in thousands of productions (much like the costumes worn on Broadway). We employ a proprietary process of building costumes that will last many years, can be altered easily to fit virtually any body type, and can be laundered without chemical/industrial procesing.
