Animal Farm

George Orwell’s classic allegory is unleashed with a sharp Australian political twist – a story for an era of climate crisis, corporate greed, relentless media spin and a revolving door of leadership. Farmer Jones has lost control. The animals of Manor Farm rise up to seize the means of production, convinced that freedom is finally within reach. But revolution needs leadership, and into the chaos steps Napoleon, a pig with ambition, charm and no hesitation about cracking a few eggs to get results. The revolution begins. The slogans fly. The pigs take control. And somewhere along the way, the dream starts to rot. Equal parts biting satire and high-energy spectacle, the production fuses big ideas with dance breaks, physical comedy and unapologetic theatrical chaos. Critically acclaimed, this adaptation from Green Room Award-winning independent theatre company Bloomshed is essential theatre for anyone hungry for intelligent, entertaining and unflinching political storytelling.
