Amid the applause of the audience, guest speaker Joseph stepped onto the podium and told his story with "Don Quixote", leading the audience to pursue the seemingly impossible dreams and love.

Joseph Graves is a famous American Broadway theater director and Shakespearean drama expert. As the artistic director of the Institute of Drama and Film at Peking University, he brought the famous musical "I, Don Quixote" to China.

Joseph, who is passionate about drama, started his speech with the story of Cervantes, the original author of "Don Quixote". Cervantes, who served as a chamberlain to a cardinal, was seriously injured in the war and lost his left arm. He suffered many misfortunes. First, he was imprisoned because someone was stabbed in front of his door, and then he appeared in court for his daughter's dowry. In the last days of his life, the only thing he could not let go of was the drama he had conceived. Joseph's pure accent and emotional description show Cervantes' tragic life and his unique satirical style.

When talking about the classic musical "I, Don Quixote", Joseph's deep eyes showed a childlike light. In the form of a "play within a play", this play reproduces the birth process of the world-famous literary masterpiece "Don Quixote" and has received great sensation since its first performance. As the soul of the play, Joseph is as crazy about his dreams as the old man in the play. He spent ten years persistently spreading Western drama on Chinese campuses, and spent ten years of his life converging into the everlasting dream of a musical in his heart.

From Cervantes to "Don Quixote", from first knowing drama to becoming crazy about drama. Afterwards, Joseph began to tell his life experience. He recalled that the first time he directed a play was in the UK. "The Cherry Orchard" he directed with his classmates was noticed by the producer, and his career as a director began. What changed the director's fate was the Peking University student's obsession with drama. When directing Shakespeare's "The Tempest" at Peking University, as many as400010935_10984
