Animal Farm

Animal Farm Returns on Stage!

The play is based on Goerge Orwell’s 1945 novella originally published as Animal Farm: A Fairy Story. Do not be fooled by the sub-title. It is no children’s material, its imagery is wholly bleak, and its humour dark, if not absent at all. The satirical fable specifically lampoons Lenin’s and Stalin’s Soviet Union and an admiration thereof in various circles in the United Kingdom. However, Orwell’s penchant for capturing the essence of the subject matter allows for a more universal metaphor. You can pick your (least) favourite revolution that succeeded in establishing a modern dictatorship and parallels are there to be found. You may even recognize moments in the story almost as cliché, but they will strike you all the more for their pungency, acerbity, and effectiveness.
