Animal Farm
Performed by Sam Blythe
Adapted & Directed by Guy Masterson
(with original direction by Tony Boncza)
From the book by George Orwell
CELEBRATING 80 years since the book’s publication and 30 since its first performance, Guy Masterson’s globally renowned solo adaptation of Orwell’s barnyard masterpiece is now performed by the brilliant Sam Blythe.
Bringing all of Orwell’s multiple characters to vivid life, Blythe gives us Snowball, Napoleon, Squealer, Boxer, Clover, Mollie, Benjamin, Muriel, the Sheep, Dogs, Cows, Hens – and, of course, the cat – in a spellbinding performance that will shock, enchant, bewitch and bewilder, and linger long in the memory, ringing out Orwell’s prescient warning that politicians through the ages, and of all creeds and colours will often let power corrupt them… and sometimes corrupt them absolutely…
A must-see epic, more relevant than ever!

A brilliant adaptation which delights with its physical grace and artistry. Complex and entirely theatrical, a combination of bravura acting and poetic storytelling that brings new nuance and meaning
