Red Bull Theater: Don Quixote

Streaming until Sunday, October 8 for $30

NYC's Red Bull Theater, which revitalizes undersung classics, presented an in-person reading of Don Quixote on Monday and you can watch a recording through Sunday. Long before he sang "I Dreamed a Dream," Miguel de Cervantes' iconic windmill-tilting knight was first brought to the stage by Hispanic Golden Age playwright Guillén de Castro. Broadway's Jacob Ming-Trent (Hands on a Hard Body, Merry Wives) portrays the title character with the hilarious Carson Elrod as his loyal sidekick Sancho Panza.
