Animal Farm<br />

By George Orwell,<br />

‘All animals are equal...but some<br />

are more equal than others’<br />

One night, the downtrodden beasts at Mr. Jones’ Manor Farm assemble in a barn<br />

to hear Old Major, a pig, describe a dream he had about a world where animals<br />

live free from tyranny of their human masters.<br />

Fuelled by collectivist zeal, the animals carry out a rebellion under the leadership<br />

of the pigs, where their ideals and dreams eventually turn into new horrors as<br />

the ‘superior’ pigs settle into their new life in charge of the farm.<br />

George Orwell’s powerful allegory depicting the inevitable destruction that<br />

totalitarian ideals effect is wonderfully told in this gripping tale presented by<br />

Warwick’s Lower School boys.<br />

JULY<br />

‘Time’ magazine chose the book Animal Farm as one of the 100 best English<br />

language novels 1923-2005. It also featured at number 31 on the Modern Library<br />

list of Best 20th Century Novels. This dynamic and vibrant production promises<br />

to be as pertinent and relevant as when the novel was first published in 1945.<br />
