Drama 202 Annual Production: Animal Farm

“All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others.”

The animals of Manor Farm rise up with a vision of freedom and equality. But as their utopia slides into dictatorship, Orwell’s classic tale feels more relevant now than ever, echoing the headlines of today.

Tatty Hennessy’s bold, contemporary adaptation of Animal Farm crackles with dark humour, sharp wit, and a warning about how revolutions can be twisted.

Come join the 2025 class of Drama 202 for a gripping night of theatre. Directed by acclaimed Aotearoa theatre-maker Sara Brodie.
