Will you lead the first ever donkey protest? In this epic, seven-hour video game, you take turns with fellow audience members to lead a herd of cheeky, rebellious donkeys to get their jobs back. Don’t worry, there are intervals and snacks provided throughout this communal gaming adventure. 

Bring your friends and get ready to make new ones in this provocative and engaging gaming marathon. One-by-one and with commentary from the crowd, together you will tackle 2D and 3D game genres, from side-scroller beat-‘em-ups to trivia quizzes, Guitar Hero-style button mashers, a rock n’ roll version of Pong and much more, as the donkeys go burro-ing through a post-Industrial world. 

This is theatre where you control the action, literally, and work collaboratively to overcome the puzzles and challenges encountered along the way. Laced with bawdy humour and social commentary, asses.masses will challenge your ass-umptions of what a live theatre experience can be. 

Join asses.masses creators Patrick Blenkarn and Milton Lim for a unique workshop experience: 

Workshop: Cooperative Play For The Gameful Revolution
