Review: THE DONKEY SHOW at Proud Camden

The Donkey Show As soon as you arrive at Proud Camden, it’s clear that you are not in for the average night at the theatre. The Donkey Show is a fabulous, exhilarating and flamboyant musical based on one of Shakespeare’s most popular plays: A Midsummer Nights Dream.

Far from the forest that usually occupies this story, we find ourselves throwninto a hedonistic night at Club Oberon where the events unfold over the course of an evening. From classics such as: Car Wash, I Will Survive and We are Family, this 70s disco is the hottest ticket in town.

Initially the show is exciting, opening with a bang and we are instantly transported into the world of flamenco. The stark stage is filled with bright yellows depicting the sunrise and the beginning of the journey as flamenco made its way from India through many different places until it settled in Southern Spain.
