Images have been released offering a first look at The Donkey Show which opens at Proud Camden on Thursday.

The immersive production of A Midsummer Night's Dream stars award-winning comedian Vikki Stone as Oberon/Mia alongside Siobhan Athwal as Dmitri/Vinnie, Bronté Barbé as Helen/Vinnie, Melissa Bayern as Tytania/Sander, Natalie Chua as Disco Girl, Samuel Fogell as DJ Hernando/Cobweb, James Gillan as Lady Puck, Dominique Kinisky as Peaseblossom, Nyron Levy as Moth, Adrian Martel as Mustardseed, Harry Morley as Fidget and Jessica Spalis as Rico Suave.

The production was created and conceived by Randy Weiner and Diane Paulus and originally ran Off-Broadway in 1999. The piece is a disco re-imagining of Shakespeare's comedy featuring disco hits including "I Will Survive", "Carwash" and "We Are Family".

The Donkey Show first ran in London 15 years ago and features acrobats, aerial artists and fire breathers as part of the production. This new version will be directed by Ryan McBryde with design by Diego Pitarch and choreography by Lucy Ridley.

The Donkey Show runs at Proud Camden from 9 June to 21 August.
