Madman in town

He lives in his own romanticised world of medieval chivalry, considers himself to be a wandering knight and his delusion is rendered so strongly that he, along with his squire Sancho Panza, has imaginary duels with everyday objects. This classic madman is now coming to town (Karachi) in a local adaptation of Don Quixote de la Mancha, titled Man of La Mancha, by The Academy of Cinematic Theatre (ACT) established by Saba Saeed, opening on stage sometime in late November. Not only that but this adaptation will also include music performed by Taal Karisma with the bandmembers performing as part of the characters in the play. This is ACT’s first stage performance after a hiatus of three years.
