“We laughed throughout
the entire show.”
—Nan Johnson, Teacher at JFK Elementary
Revolution has broken out on Manor Farm! The animals have claimed their independence, humans are banished, and the new “Animal Farm” will be a beautiful egalitarian paradise. Pigs, horses, goats, donkeys, and dogs— all animals are equal and free to build their new utopia, but can they resist the corruption that led to humanity’s downfall? From the author of 1984, this chilling and provocative allegory by George Orwell comes to the stage with the clarity and spark you’ve come to expect from The National Players. Relates to literature, allegory, tyranny, and community. VT Stan.: 1.3, 5.9, 5.11. 6.1, 6.12, 6.14 Sponsored by John Bossange
