Man of La Mancha
4040 Twiggs Street, San Diego, 92110
Sean Murray, who also directed, has played Cervantes/Quixote twice before. Now he's the right age, and his excellent voice resonates with the great Spanish writer and his saintly-goofball man of La Mancha. The production has a swift, improvisational feel, though the performances are a mite uneven. Brian Barbarin (Sancho), Kurt Norby, David Kirk Grant (who also plays flamenco guitar), eye-patched Linda Libby, and vibrant Katie Whalley support throughout and, when called upon, shine. Sean Fanning's dank dungeon and ominously descending stairs, along with Jeanne Reith's brown, battered costumes, capture what's at stake.
Worth a try.
