<span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1441811379692_6555" class="">of</span> the scenes with sparkling energy... The dancers displayed impeccable footwork and grace... The music was rousing and operatic." –Review in The Hindu, April 9, 2015</div>
<div class="" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1441811379692_6557">“Books are the most important characters in this production. The books he reads make Don Quixote what he is,” says Sheejith.</div>

<span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1441811379692_6561" class="">of</span> this experience is to translate something I have always loved reading into the experience
