One of the most highly performed solo shows, Guy Masterson’s adaptation of Animal Farm has been played in nearly 50 countries since 1995.
Using nothing but a bale of hay, a bowler hat and a horsewhip, some amazing sound effects and superb physical and vocal dexterity, Sam Blythe brings Orwell’s allegorical masterpiece vividly to life in an unforgettable tour-de-force performance in his inimitable style.
Peppered with contemporary political buzzwords which add a modern sinister relevance, Orwell’s central message of betrayed idealism and abuse of power is hammered home, leaving an indelible imprint on the consciousness.
“This brilliant adaptation gets to the heart of Orwell’s barnyard classic, maintaining his original textual structure and style in a powerful multi-character performance that makes the book accessible and exciting.” (The Herald)
