But when a child goes missing, accusations are thrown at David's new friends, and the line between fact and fiction becomes dangerously blurred...Gong Donkeys is a hilarious, bizarre and touching story about storytelling, as told by The Catcher in The Rye, an SAS commando and Charlene from number 27.Gong Donkeys is published to tie in with the play's premiere at London's Bush Theatre in November 2004.
