Animal Farm by George Orwell

George Orwell's 1945 satire on the perils of Stalinism has proved magnificently long-lived as a parable for totalitarianism anywhere - and has given the world at least one immortal phrase: 'Some are more equal than others'. The epic tale of George Orwell's novel Animal Farm has been adapted for the stage and will be performed by Whangārei Boys High School Year 12 students. The play sticks very closely to the book and retains both it's affection for the animals and the incisiveness of it's message.
