The Nativity What The Donkey Saw

OVERVIEW

  • Playwright

    Alan McKee  Conor Grimes 

  • Synopsis

    Chapter One of the greatest stories ever told, as seen through the eyes of the only truly reliable witness, the donkey. This irreverent seasonal comedy looks for answers to some big questions; Why didn't Joseph book a room in advance- didn't he know the place would be packed for Christmas? Who looked after the sheep while the shepherds were wetting the baby's head? Would the wise men not have been wiser to club together and buy the kid a high-chair? What did the donkey see and why was he looking? Just a few questions to ponder while you make your mind up to come and see this hilarious version of the Christmas story.
