A powerful re-telling of George Orwell’s chilling and timeless classic.
Adapted for the stage by Ian Wooldridge.
Orwell’s enduring and devastating satire about the corruption of power will be brought vividly to life on stage at Derby Theatre this Feb in a brand new production of this compelling and iconic drama.
When the downtrodden animals of Manor Farm overthrow their master and take over, they imagine it is the beginning of a life of freedom and equality for all. However over time a cunning and brutal elite among them, masterminded by the pigs Napoleon and Snowball, gradually take control. Soon the other animals discover that they are not all as equal as they once thought and find themselves ensnared as one tyranny is replaced with another.
Age guidance: 11+
