Shake & Stir present Orwell’s Animal Farm
ANIMAL Farm, one of the most enduring political commentaries, returns in a multi award-winning, critically acclaimed theatre production.
George Orwell’s intensely powerful fairytale allegorises and satirises communist governments while illustrating with stunning simplicity how greed and power corrupts with devastating consequences to all who yield.
Revolution has taken place at Manor Farm. The pigs have assumed control and all the animals, fuelled by enthusiastic camaraderie and guided by a set of self-imposed rules, are promised a better life free from the self-serving greed of humans. However, it is not long before the rules that promised equality and freedom become the shackles that bind the animals once again.
Created by Shake & Stir and directed by Michael Futcher, Animal Farm promises to be one of the most shocking, relevant and wickedly funny theatre events of 2020.
