49 Donkeys Hanged
A surreal, dark comedy by Cornish writer Carl Grose about a farmer who hangs donkeys from trees on his land as his way of life is threatened and his farm is bankrupt.
A surreal, dark comedy by Cornish writer Carl Grose, inspired by seeing a Johannesburg local newspaper headline about a farmer who hanged 49 donkeys from tree branches on his land.
In Grose's play, Stanley Bray, a Cornish farmer, is compelled to hang donkeys and his wheelchair-bound wife Joy is desperate to get out of the house. Their way of life is fast disappearing, the farm is bankrupt and this is Stanley's bizarre response.
