Oops! All Donkeys

Directed by Christine Brooks

Make. Pull. Carry. Work. Repeat.

Donkeys! Are you not tired? Atomised and alienated? It’s time to lay down your burdens and join us at our retreat. Be among friends. Feel the cool gleam of the moon upon your ears. Find and then heal your inner donkey. A most rare vision awaits.

From the creator of Love Isthmus: Dystopia Edition (“a truly bizarre and apocalyptic hour of improv” - The Wellingtonista), Murder on a Boat (“really, really, really good” - Regional News), and The Solarpunk Archives (“creative antics that leave the audience howling with laughter” - Theatreview) comes this festival premiere of the show concept that came to the director in a dream.
