An epic journey rendered in the space of a well-lit stage, Round House Theatre’s regional premiere of Quixote Nuevo (★★★☆☆) enchants and entertains, without delivering the knockout punch implied by playwright Octavio Solis’ poignant Don Quixote adaptation. Quixote insists that he left his beloved Dulcinea on the other side of the border and he must return to her. Similarly, the puppetry, used to depict the love story of young Quixote and Dulcinea, reflects the atmosphere and expressiveness of the production, without fully transmitting the requisite emotion. Quixote Nuevo in-person performances run through October 3 at Round House, 4545 East-West Highway in Bethesda.
