A Donkey Who Saw The King
An enchanting Nativity play told through the eyes (and ears!) of a very special stable donkey.
Perfect for ages 4–8, this heartwarming and humorous script retells the traditional Christmas story with a fresh twist, through the perspective of the donkey who witnessed it all! Packed with gentle comedy, audience interaction, and all the classic Nativity moments, this play captures the wonder of the first Christmas in a way that’s easy for young performers to understand and perform.
With roles for 15–25 children (easily expandable with extra animals, angels, and shepherds), the script balances simple, memorable dialogue with opportunities for group scenes and songs such as Away in a Manger or Silent Night.
Teachers will love the clear structure, short scenes, and flexible casting, making rehearsals smooth and enjoyable. Whether performed on a big stage or in a classroom, A Donkey Who Saw The King delivers a touching and truly memorable Nativity experience for both children and audiences alike.
Themes: Kindness, inclusion, love, and the true spirit of Christmas.
