Frayn’s 30-year-old Donkey Gallops Back to West End???
Date: 2 March 2006
Thirty years after it was first seen at the Gielgud Theatre (then the Globe), when it won the Olivier Award for Best New Comedy, Michael Frayn’s Donkey’s Years could be heading back to the West End for a limited season this summer. In the vicious world of academia, college port inspires problems at a reunion dinner at a lesser college of an older university. Frayn is updating the script for the anniversary revival, to be directed by Jeremy Sams, who revived Frayn’s Benefactors in the West End in 2002. Frayn’s other plays include Alarms and Excursions, Alphabetical Order, Clouds, Make or Break, Noises Off, Copenhagen and, most recently, 2003’s multi award-winning Democracy. Casting is now under way for the nine-strong company of Donkey’s Years.
