...burlesque, like its predecessor it mixes wisecracks and Morte d'Arthur, scrambles legend and topical satire. While her husband King Lot is away fighting Arthur, Queen Morgause, comic symbol of the egocentric wife, attempts the seduction of lovesick King Pellinore (3.2 Don Quixote) and Sir Grummore Grummursum (Sancho Panza on rye). Meanwhile her neglected sons Gawaine, Agravaine, Gaheris and Gareth confound their Saracen tutor Palomides, who talks rather like Charlie Chan, and beg stories from heretic St. Torealvac (parody brogue), who inhabits a beehive and drinks mountain...
...good. In ten sections of ten questions each were such factual stumpers as "Who painted the girl serving chocolate on a well-known brand of cocoa?"; such models of test technique as "Pick your painter: a) Linsey-Woolsey, b) 'Lippo Lippi, c) Boro Budur, d) Sancho Panza, e) Michelozzo Michelozzi"; and queries Jike...
...private fire, its flames still hidden but its sparks feeding inwardly on a spirit of dissatisfaction and antagonism.

Particularly are the other players impeded by their accents, which immediately put them out of character. Sancho Panza, in the person of George Robey, talks Cockney. And Carrasco with his Oxford lisp seems more the bespectacled grind than the heroic flance. These too noticeable incongruities make it difficult to imagine oneself in the Spain of the seventeenth century...
...ninny of a fiance to despair by selling all his possessions to buy a library of chivalric romances. He sallies forth, enters a tavern where strolling players are performing. Vastly amused, they dub him knight. He swears fealty to his Dulcinea -a tavern wench. Arousing his trusty Sancho Panza (Robey) from bed, the old knight drags him off on a career of errantry. Dreamy, hollow-eyed, grandiloquent, Don Quixote perpetually fancies he is dealing with giants or magicians. His bewildered but eager squire does his best to help and coddle the old zany. After the Don has attacked a flock...
