Animal Farm is George Orwell’s most celebrated work. An allegory of betrayed idealism. It explores the inevitable perversion of political ideals when they are put into practice by imperfect human beings, and the corruption of the moral human individual when given absolute power. The animals of Manor Farm overthrow Farmer Jones, and with the pigs as leaders, create a new state for themselves, Animal Farm. A set of commandments is written as a guide for animal life. However, cunning propaganda hides the true agenda of the pigs and the ideals of the revolution are gradually subverted. Combining physical theatre, innovative design and live and original music, this proudly “Made in Singapore” production is conveyed with integrity, clarity and blinding relevance, proving Animal Farm to be as relevant today as it was nearly 65 years ago.
