The King With Donkey’s Ears – Relaxed Performance

Relaxed performance: An informal environment where everyone can relax and enjoy the show without having to worry about making a noise or moving around. For audiences including, but not exclusive to, children and adults with an Autistic Spectrum Condition or learning disability.

SIGNED PEFORMANCE: A BSL sign language interpreted performance will also be available on Tue 22 Dec at 2pm.

‘We all had a fantastic time, and both our children thoroughly enjoyed themselves.  I spent a lot of the performance just watching their faces because they were so animated and engaged!  Being a relaxed performance definitely helped a great deal as well – we felt under no pressure to make our son conform to the ‘norms’ of theatre going, and having the actors introduce themselves at the start was a good way of demystifying the experience.’

QUIRK THEATRE AND EXETER PHOENIX PRESENT

The King With Donkey’s Ears

For everyone over 5!

For the thirteenth year running Quirk Theatre and Exeter Phoenix join together to ignite young imaginations and bring wonderfully creative live theatre to over three thousand people at Christmas time.

The king has something hidden under his hat. Something big…. He has donkey’s ears! Only the royal barber knows his secret, and if he tells another living soul he stands to lose everything that is precious to him. But the barber can’t contain himself. He can’t eat, he can’t sleep. What is he to do? At his wits end he goes off into the woods to find a secluded spot to shout out his secret. What happens next will surprise, delight and entertain children and adults alike.

‘Quirk Theatre captivates, enthrals and enthuses youngsters…’
