“All animals are equal. But some animals are more equal than others.<\/strong>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Something is going on at Manor Farm. The animals have overthrown Farmer Jones and, with the pigs as their leaders, have created a new state for themselves called Animal Farm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vowing to eliminate the terrible inequities in the system, the pigs write a set of commandments as a guide for animal life. However, cunning propaganda hides their true agenda, as the ideals of the revolution are gradually subverted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Animal Farm<\/em>, George Orwell\u2019s most celebrated novel, is a timely reminder that absolute power corrupts and that totalitarian regimes inevitably betray the trust of ordinary citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Combining physical theatre, live and original music, and innovative design, Wild Rice\u2019s 20th-anniversary production of Animal Farm<\/em> is more than just a tale of barnyard betrayal. Vital, sexy and wickedly funny, it invigorates a world classic with humour, integrity and clarity \u2013 proving that Orwell\u2019s dark fairy tale is as relevant today as it was 80 years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Production History<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
