Welcome to the Useful Donkey Theatre Company's website.

The Useful Donkey Theatre Company is a fresh new company dedicated to producing simple, powerful and entertaining theatre.

The company is made up of four useful donkeys and a larger group of creative types, from designers and composers, to directors and poets, who share the mission of telling great stories in a simple fashion.

Theatre doesn't need to be complicated to engage the imagination, and challenging and provoking an audience need not replace entertaining them.

On the site you will find details of production dates and venues, how to contact us, how you can support the company and much more.

The very first full-scale show for the company is a York Theatre Royal co-production of Mark Payton's inspired play Rupert Brooke. A fascinating and revealing journey through the life of the legendary poet.
