All is not well on Manor Farm. The animals are neglected and abused by their drunken owner, and anger and a sense of injustice are growing. They dare to dream of taking their destinies into their own hooves, paws and claws. When man is gone, fairness and equality for all animals shall be the rule! Won’t it?
TWC’s Summer 2025 open air production is a new, fast-paced, occasionally frightening and sometimes bleakly comic adaptation of one of the most celebrated novels of the Twentieth Century – George Orwell’s ‘Animal Farm’.
An army of downtrodden farm animals rises up to overthrow their human oppressors. But their dream of a society where all animals are equal soon collides with the seductive allure of privilege and the corrupting nature of political power. Orwell’s famous fable – a brilliant satire on the Russian revolution and the rise of Stalin – is a gripping tale of rebellion, heroism and ultimate betrayal. The writing is on the wall – literally:
ALL ANIMALS ARE EQUAL, BUT SOME ANIMALS ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS
