Hull Truck Theatre are teaming up with The Octagon Theatre Bolton, Derby Theatre to present a compelling new re-telling of George Orwell’s timeless fable – Animal Farm (Wednesday 27 March – Saturday 13 April 2024).
This striking new production has been adapted for the stage by Ian Wooldridge and directed by esteemed theatre director, Iqbal Khan (East is East, Birmingham Rep & National Theatre, Tartuffe, Royal Shakespeare Company, Opening Ceremony of Commonwealth Games).
When the downtrodden animals of Manor Farm overthrow their master, they imagine it is the beginning of a new life of freedom and equality. However, over time they find themselves ensnared as one tyranny is quickly replaced with another.
Animal Farm is Orwell’s enduring and devastating satire about the corruption of power, that comments on the imbalance among society and demonstrates how some are more equal than others. A story as relevant today as when it was written in 1945, this classic story will be brought vividly to life on stage in this gripping new production for 2024.
