The Donkey Show
Media Coverage
From the moment you enter the doors of Oberon on the edge of Harvard Square, you can sense the innovation -- part nightclub, part burlesque cabaret.
The Donkey Show is "the most alive, immersive piece of theater I've ever been dunked in. . . . Whatever Puck is pushing, the love juice in Shakespeare's little western flower is less cocaine than pure adrenaline." - Boston Phoenix

"The actors sing along to the music as a DJ spins, and the audience can go to the dance floor, drink in hand, and get their groove on while watching." - Boston Metro
The A.R.T.'s club OBERON is "game-changing. . . . OBERON will woo new theatergoers with a vibe that’s anything but theater as usual." —Boston Herald
