George Orwell’s Animal Farm presented by Children’s Theatre Partnership in association with Birmingham Rep at Blackpool Grand Theatre
A cleverly creative production of George Orwell’s Animal Farm brings the famous farmyard fiercely to life at Blackpool Grand Theatre from Tuesday 19 to Saturday 21 April with incredible puppetry from Toby Olié (whose credits include War Horse, Running Wild and Goodnight Mister Tom).
Toby joins a talented team of renowned theatre professionals who have expertly re-imagined Orwell’s world-famous fable of a revolution and its aftermath to breathe exciting new life into Napoleon, Snowball, Boxer and all the animals of Manor Farm.
This powerful production of Animal Farm has been adapted and directed by the multi award-winning Robert Icke (The Doctor, Hamlet, Mary Stuart, Oresteia, 1984) with stunning set design from four-time Olivier Award-winner Bunny Christie (A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Company, Ink, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time).
The animals of Manor Farm join together to drive out the farmer and run the farm themselves. A revolution. And then what? Then freedom. Every animal will be free. Old Major, the prize boar, calls the animals of Manor Farm together. He has had a strange dream of a better future.
‘All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others…’
This dynamic and daring take on a timeless story is produced by Children’s Theatre Partnership (CTP) in association with Birmingham Rep. CTP creates bold and imaginative theatre to engage new audiences and aims to inspire a life-long love of theatre.
