It is often said that a movie or play needed to be written based on the story of Paronella Park.
Thankfully, it has been done, resulting in a stage production taking the romance and folly of the PP story and adding to it humour and song.
The Catalan dreamer, together with a desirable daughter, a draconian mother and the delightful Don Quixote all quest the impossible dream.
The Impossible Dream brings together the original cast who will again breathe life into Don Quixote, the bumbling chivalrous knight of classical literature, in the guise of sidekick to the real life character of Jose Paronella.
Their combined hilarious attempts to woo the stubborn Margarita, with the help of her conniving mother Rosa, eventually prove successful, taking Margarita and Jose on a journey towards a love of each other, a castle built on dreams, and the remote wilderness of Far North Queensland.
The Impossible Dream is a story of the bravery and tenacity in the pursuit of dreams. With original music by Irene Vela The Impossible Dream is a ‘Broadway style' production of a local story that crosses international boundaries..
