Animal Farm
Adapted & Performed by Guy Masterson
Directed by Tony Boncza
From the book by George Orwell
Celebrating 70 years of its publication and 30 years of performance, Guy Masterson reprises his breathtaking solo performance of Orwell's barnyard masterpiece.
Olivier Award winner, Guy Masterson, veteran of smash hit solo works such as Under Milk Wood, A Christmas Carol and Shylock, reprises his globally acclaimed interpretation of Orwell's classic fable.
Famed for bringing multiple characters to vivid life, Masterson gives us Snowball, Napoleon, Squealer, Boxer, Clover, Mollie, Benjamin, Muriel, Sheep, Dogs, Cows, Hens and of course a cat in a riveting, 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…
"ANIMAL MAGIC! The tale ignites, bringing both humour and sinister aspect to the rhetoric of the upwardly mobile pigs!"
"This brilliant adaptation gets to the heart of Orwell's barnyard classic, maintaining his original textual structure and style in a powerful multi-character performance that makes the book accessible and exciting. Animal Magic!"
"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"
