Christopher Durang is one of America's most prolific and acclaimed playwrights, whose works include: Sister Mary Ignatius Explains It All For You, Beyond Therapy, Baby With the Bathwater, The Marriage of Bette and Boo, and most recently Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike, which won the 2013 Tony Award for Best Play.

ANIMAL FARM By George Orwell

Event Date: 24/05/2014, 08:00 pm

Celebrated as one of the greatest novels of the 20th Century
Celebrated as one of the greatest novels of the 20th Century and the Winner of the Retrospective Hugo Award in 1996, The Archway 1 Theatre Company proudly present

ANIMAL FARM by George Orwell Play adaption by Nelson Bond and directed by A1TC Artistic Director Rachel Jordan.

Animal Farm is a fable with a sting. Much has been written about the threat of Communism, but it remained to the late George Orwell, farsighted British author of the brilliant and frightening 1984, to expose the Russian experiment for what it really is; an idealist’s dream, converted by realists into a nightmare. This timely allegory you will meet beasts whose prototypes have dominated news headlines for many fearful years. Opening on a note of joyous triumph for the creatures who have emancipated themselves from the cruel mastery of a human owner, the reading mounts inexorably to a climax of disillusionment in which the other animals discover themselves now subject to the rule of even more ruthless autocrats: the greedy, cunning pigs. Intermingling humor and drama, Animal Farm wrings the emotions of its listeners, leaving audiences shaken with the tale of a tragedy that happened in a mythical barnyard far away but could happen in our own back yard.

Featuring Helena Telford, Juan Lorenzo Suarez, Sarah Robinson, Demitri Fields, Karina Bracken, Juliet Velieu, Luna Andom and Nicholas Shields
