ANIMAL FARM - NOVEMBER 2020
From the revolution to the tyranny! First published in 1945, “Animal Farm” is George Orwell’s allegorical fable reflecting the events leading up to the Russian Revolution of 1917 and into the Stalinist era of the Soviet Union. A group of farm animals rebel against their human farmer, hoping to create a society where animals can be equal, free and happy, only to find some of their own are slowly taking the power for themselves.
Combining research, text work and intensive physicality, this ensemble production has provided a welcome challenge to our students during these unusual times and we are excited to share our creation. As we move forward into a somewhat unpredictable future, it is wise to remember the dangers of too much power in the wrong hands.
