Animal Farm

Olivier winner Guy Masterson directs the phenomenal Sam Blythe in his legendary solo of Orwell's allegorical masterpiece, returning for its 30th anniversary. Blythe assiduously inhabits every quadruped on the farm: Boxer, Clover, Napoleon, Snowball, Benjamin, Molly, Muriel, Moses, dogs, sheep, hens, cows, ducks, cat – and Squealer is a tour de force! The political power of the work is undeniable and its inherent warning as shockingly poignant today as ever. I mean, it could never happen to us, could it? 'Animal magic! Not to be missed!' (BBC Radio). 'Some shows are more equal than others!' (Times).
