Drop The Dead Donkey: The Reawakening review

Whether for fans of the classic 1990s satirical comedy or for those new to it, this is a real treat - a fun, edgy, witty and upbeat treat.

Drop The Dead Donkey: The Reawakening review

It's an entertaining piece of theatre that is well performed. But I feel you need prior knowledge of the show to truly enjoy it. This is not one for newbies.

Drop The Dead Donkey: The Reawakening review

This is no easy romp down Memory Lane: the team has taken the original concept and brought it squarely into the 21st century, delivering a very funny, but also slightly sobering, take on news today.

Drop The Dead Donkey: The Reawakening review

Drop The Dead Donkey: The Reawakening! is a quick fire and entertaining satire performed by an excellent ensemble cast.

Drop The Dead Donkey: The Reawakening review

I know it's a cliché, but this is almost the definition of a curate's egg.

Drop The Dead Donkey: The Reawakening review

Fans of the show will love it and there are enough good jokes in it for everyone. Never mind the donkey it is well worth dropping everything to go and see this show.

Adam Williams, North West End UK, 14th February 2024

Drop The Dead Donkey: The Reawakening review

Yes, the show is achingly funny and perceptive but like all good satire it leaves the audience to think, perhaps, a little more clearly about what is the true state of society.

Ray Taylor, The Reviews Hub, 7th February 2024

Drop The Dead Donkey: The Reawakening review

There's more to Drop The Dead Donkey: The Reawakening than simple nostalgia that should offer an appeal beyond the TV show's existing fan base.
