Details
By George Orwell.
Adapted and Directed by Patrick J O’Reilly
Reimagined with biting humour and bold theatrical mischief by UK Theatre Award-winning Tinderbox Theatre Company.
Inside Manor Prison, four women jailed after an anti-government protest find a copy of Animal Farm. As one reads aloud, the story comes to life within the prison walls, mirroring their own fight for freedom and blurring the line between fiction and reality.
Marking over 80 years since Orwell’s landmark satire first hit the page, this wickedly subversive adaptation of Animal Farm is a vivid and urgent reminder of its enduring relevance.
Come and join the riot!
