Animal Farm

Middle school present George Orwell's Animal Farm, adapted for the stage by Lara Sharman. More than seventy years after Animal Farm was first published, George Orwell’s ‘fairy-tale’ is as apt as ever. It is, of course, an allegory for the events of the Russian Revolution of 1917, but at its core, it is a cautionary tale about power, politics, corruption, and inequality. While the farm animals in the story revolt against their human farmers to create an equal society, the pigs quickly establish themselves as the elite leadership and use their power to oppress. Over time, using propaganda and fear, the list of animal rights becomes shorter until only one remains “Four legs good, two legs bad”. Some animals find out that to question the order results in exile or death. It seems that power corrupts, even when idealism is at play.
