Top Cast
Zhou Shen and Liu Lu’s bleak farce Mr. Donkey, adapted from their play, has a sentimental streak, and, as farce can, a tendency to overheat. But beneath its mild staginess and intermittent mania lies a cynical, piercing parable about China’s past and perhaps its present.
Mr. Donkey is deeply flawed but also fascinating. There’s a good story here, woven between the thudding jokes.
