Animal Farm

Theatre Tours International Ltd presents

ANIMAL FARM with Sam Blythe

Performed by Sam Blythe

Adapted & Directed by Guy Masterson (with original direction by Tony Boncza)

From the book by George Orwell

Over 80 years since the book’s publication and 31 since this show’s first performance, Guy Masterson’s globally renowned solo adaptation of Orwell’s barnyard masterpiece is performed by the brilliant Sam Blythe.

Bringing all of Orwell’s multiple characters to vivid life, Blythe gives us Snowball, Napoleon, Squealer, Boxer, Clover, Mollie, Benjamin, Muriel, the Sheep, Dogs, Cows, Hens – and, of course, the cat – in a 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…

A must-see epic, more relevant than ever!

“ANIMAL MAGIC! The tale ignites, bringing both humour and sinister aspect to the rhetoric of the upwardly mobile pigs!” (The Herald)

“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!” (The Times)

★★★★★  “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” (The Scotsman)
