COMPANY
HISTORY
In 1995 a
group of students from The Royal Academy of Music who decided to
venture into the world of musical production, were fortunate in
securing funding, applied for the rights for an R&H show and
booked a theatre. Their dilemma came in deciding what to name the
newly-formed company. After much bandying of ideas they realised
that the words which best seemed to describe their venture -
entering the fickle business of theatrical production – were
'dreams', 'ideals', 'adventure' and, to some extent,
'foolishness'.
These
words are synonymous with one character in fiction, Don Quixote,
who remained forever chivalrous during his quest to realise his
dreams. And so Quixotic Productions was born, with a determination
not to be content with tilting at windmills, but to actually
realise their dreams.
Producers
Susie Dumbreck and Graham Dalton take the company into a new
era of production with the hope of promoting Scottish talent and
theatre.
