Animal Farm

Based on the novel by George Orwell, adapted for the stage by Ian Wooldridge on Saturday 17th February at 2pm at the Bolton Octagon Theatre. The cost is £15 contact Pam Carroll or Christine Hoey for tickets.

A powerful re-telling of George Orwell’s chilling and timeless classic.

When the downtrodden animals of Manor Farm overthrow their master and take over, they imagine it is the beginning of a life of freedom and equality for all. However over time a cunning and brutal elite among them, masterminded by the pigs Napoleon and Snowball, gradually take control. Soon the other animals discover that they are not all as equal as they once thought and find themselves ensnared as one tyranny is replaced with another.

Orwell’s enduring and devastating satire about the corruption of power will be brought vividly to life on stage in a brand new production of this compelling and iconic drama.
