This fantastic puppet production brings to wonderful life the classic George Orwell novel. Based on the landmark musical stage adaptation created by Peter Hall and Adrian Mitchell for England's Royal National Theatre, Animal Farm is a feast for the eyes with a cast of extraordinary full-body puppets. Through a variety of puppet styles including hand, stick-and-rod, bunraku, masks and stilts, the audience is transported into a fantasy world of idealistic farm animals who eagerly throw off their chains of slavery and human oppression only to be faced with the challenges of their hard-won liberty. A compelling exploration of direct democracy, Animal Farm is an unforgettable theatrical experience for audiences of all ages.
