This vibrant production brings the traditional Christmas story to life through the eyes of Dash, an energetic but often misunderstood donkey from Nazareth.

Throughout the play, Dash learns valuable lessons about friendship, kindness, and reliability, transforming from an outsider into a hero, admired by all. Along the way, he encounters an array of delightful characters, including the wise men, angels, and fellow donkeys, each adding humour and warmth to the tale.
