Animal Farm - Youth Theatre
Thu 1 March 2018
by George Orwell
Hear the hoofbeats of tomorrow! See the golden
future rise!
The story tells the tale of
how a group of neglected farmyard animals unite in a revolution against man. The
pigs: Snowball, Squealer and Napoleon take the helm as farmyard commandments
are introduced; discouraging humanistic tendencies and strengthening the
animals’ independence from man as well as encouraging all animals to be seen as
equal.
The pigs consider themselves
to have superior intelligence over the other animals; feeding their hunger for
power. This power comes at a high price though, as sabotage and deceit grow
within the farm. The rules that applied to all animals, no longer apply to the
pigs as they succumb to the temptations of privilege and power. After all, all
animals are equal... But some are more equal than others.
The youth theatre explore
the relevant themes of power struggles, corruption and politics in an exciting
and contemporary adaptation of Orwell’s classic; Animal Farm.
