Mr. Donkey
Comedy? Tragedy? — Are you ready for this absurd love story?
About a donkey,
and everyone's dignity.
Teachers of "questionable character" with a dream of education leave the city for a remote village school — poor pay, hard life, yet content until news of an inspector's visit breaks the calm. The secret of "Mr. Donkey" threatens exposure; a "genius" seems to save them, but real trouble has only begun.
The inspector closes in. Layer upon layer of lies props up "Mr. Donkey" — dignity peels away, and the life raft they reach for drags them deeper.
"In the spring light of May — no regrets for youth."Mr. Donkey — costumes and stage.
Spring 2019 · five sold-out shows.
