About
Performed by Newman College Drama Academy.
Peter Hall's adaptation of George Orwell's allegorical novel was first staged at the National Theatre in 1984.
Set at Manor Farm, the animals live under the cruel hand of alcoholic farmer Mr Jones. Old Major (a boar) speaks of revolution and in the wake of his death the animals of the farm overthrow the farmer to become their own masters. Establishing a system titled ‘Animalism’ where ‘all animals are equal,’ they are able to live a freer life...for now.
It doesn't take long for the pigs of the farm to promote themselves to positions of leadership. Snowball wants to modernise the farm, Napoleon wants supreme power of the farm with Squealer as his right hand pig. The other animals suffer at the leadership of the pigs just as they had suffered under Mr Jones. In a frightening final scene, the pigs invite the farmers from the surrounding farms to a dinner party where they play cards and drink whiskey together. The animals looking in on the scene can no longer distinguish between the two.
Directed by Graham Hammett & Harry Dibbs.
