He spent two years distilling 940 pages of Cervante&#8217;s classic novel into a one-hour stage show featuring the Los Angeles Guitar Quartet and John Cleese of Monty Python fame. The words are adapted from a 2005 translation by Edith Grossman and the music is all carefully chosen from Cervante&#8217;s time to illustrate the mood and the narrative of the story.<\/p>\n<p>Philip Proctor brings his talents as an actor &amp; voiceover artist to this Calgary performance. Philip is a 42-year veteran of the Firesign Theatre, the voice behind countless commercials and interactive games and he was seahorse Bob in Finding Nemo and Charlie in Monster, Inc. He&#8217;s equally at home with the many characters he plays in Don Quixote!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"ast-oembed-container \" style=\"height: 100%;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Don Quixote Promo\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kk-eblPx9ek?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Website of the LAGQ: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lagq.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.lagq.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some days ago I found a concert by the Los Angeles Guitar Quartet on the CBC Concerts on Demand website.
