AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'A romantic comedy with music that brings to life Don Quixote, the bumbling chivalrous knight of classical literature, in the guise of sidekick to the real life character of Jose Paronella. Their combined hilarious attempts to woo the stubborn Margarita, with the help of her conniving mother Rosa, eventually prove successful, taking Margarita and Jose on a journey towards a love of each other, a castle built on dreams, and the remote wilderness of Far North Queensland. "The Impossible Dream" is a story of bravery and tenacity in pursuit of dreams.' http://www.jute.com.au/intro.html (Sighted 9/3/05)
