Animal Farm at Arts Centre

Using nothing but a bale of hay, some amazing sound effects and brilliant physical and vocal dexterity, Masterson’s portrayal of Orwell’s masterwork continues to have audiences in absolute awe.

George Orwell’s Animal Farm made waves when it was published in 1945. An allegory based on the Russian Revolution and the Soviet government which followed, it remains a cutting and deeply effective satire on political power and its abuse. The tale resonates as powerfully today as when it was first published and is still banned in totalitarian regimes throughout the world, including China and North Korea,

Hilariously comic and terribly poignant in turn, Masterson’s breathtaking, physical storytelling creates the entire farmyard around you in two hours of utterly compelling theatre.

Seventeen years since its world premiere, Masterson’s performance of Animal Farm is on its final UK tour and is now officially the most highly performed solo show in the world, this is a must see performance for all ages. If you’ve never seen or read Animal Farm, and even if you remember it from school... come see this show, you won’t believe what you see!

If all plays are equal, this version of Animal Farm is definitely more equal than others
