Honky Tonky Donkey - By Niki Davies
Product Description
From the brilliant Niki Davies comes Honky Tonky Donkey, a charming nativity perfectly pitched for 4-8 year olds. With seven toe-tapping songs and a simple and adaptable script, this delightful new nativity will captivate young performers and offers plenty of scope both for smaller and larger casts.
Songwriter and one man bander, Honky Tonky Donkey, can’t find inspiration for his next song. When he discovers that everyone is leaving Nazareth to go to Bethlehem for a census, he decides to go too. Maybe he will find his inspiration there? Then who should hitch a ride but a very special couple called Mary and Joseph. When they get to Bethlehem and a baby is born, things suddenly become obvious to Honky Tonky Donkey. As the world celebrates the birth of a wonderful child, a new song is written. And of course, it is all about the baby Jesus.
Contains 29 speaking roles with a flexible cast size of between 17 to 50+ (ideal cast size 35).
