Animal Farm (8+)
July 2 - July 3
£12
When the animals in the farmyard rebel against their tyrannical farmer and take control of the farm, they hope to create a world where they can be equal, happier and free. But as power shifts and a new leader emerges, they soon face the age-old question: what does it really mean to be equal?
Exploring loss of identity, the seductive allure of privilege, and the corrupting nature of political power, George Orwell’s Animal Farm is a classic story of rebellion and treachery, and a timely reminder of the importance of resistance.
This powerful production, masked by Strangeface in collaboration with the cast, reflects Orwell’s intended parallel with 20th century Soviet Russia, but also makes the leap to contemporary politics: fake news and conspiracy theories, political spin and gaslighting with the prevailing message: all animals are equal, but some are more equal than others.
