“All animals are equal but some are more equal than others”

There are problems at Manor Farm.

Farmer Jones is drunk while the animals talk of revolt.

As pigs Napoleon and Snowball vow to smash the inequalities of the farmyard, can the animals learn to cooperate and build themselves a better life?

In an age of austerity, Brexit and corruption, YEP return in full force to take on Orwell’s timeless tale of tyranny and political power. Don’t expect them to hold back on this revolution.

This adaptation of Animal Farm is by Laurence Wilson, whose previous theatre credits for the Everyman include Urban Legend, Lost Monsters, Cardboard Guitar Man and Tiny Volcanoes. He has also created work for television, film, radio and theatre companies including Paines Plough, Menagerie Theatre, Dukes Theatre and 20 Stories High, for which Blackberry Trout Face won Best New Play for Young People, the Brian Way Award in 2010.
