Animal Farm is one of the most controversial and studied political commentaries. George Orwell's simple yet intensely powerful fairy tale illustrates how greed and absolute power corrupts absolutely and, with devastating consequences, can change the course of history.
Revolution has taken place at Manor Farm. The pigs have assumed control and under the principles of 'Animalism' a better life free from human service is promised to all.
Guided by a simple set of rules and an unrelenting respect for authority, it is not long before the rules that promised freedom become the chains that bind the animals once again.
This brand new adaptation, directed by Michael Futcher and brought to life by shake & stir theatre co combines physical theatre, animation and multi-media. Animal Farm promises to be one of the most shocking, exciting, relevant and wickedly funny theatre events of 2013 and beyond.
Animal Farm was the Winner of Best Independent Production, Best Direction at the 2012 Matilda Awards and is currently touring Nationally.
