" . . . an infectious, celebratory and titillating event - Variety
"Riveting...so visceral that words seem almost beside the point." - The Boston Globe
" . . . the most alive, immersive piece of theater I've ever been dunked in." - Boston Phoenix

From its six-year run in New York City to a world tour from London to Seoul, the celebrated smash hit The Donkey Show has also taken Boston by storm, bringing the ultimate disco experience - a crazy circus of mirror balls and feathered divas, of roller skaters and hustle queens. The Donkey Show tells the story of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream through the great 70s anthems. The enchanted forest of Shakespeare's classic comedy becomes the glittered world of retro disco as the lovers escape from their real lives to experience a night of dream, abandon, and fantasy.

Tickets can be purchased online at www.AmericanRepertoryTheater.org, by phone at 617-547-8300, or in person at the A.R.T. box office.
OBERON is accessible to persons with special needs and to those requiring wheelchair seating or first-floor restrooms. Deaf and hard-of-hearing patrons can also reach the Theater by calling the toll-free N.E. Telephone Relay Center at 1-800-439-2370.
