A Noise Within presents “Animal Farm,” a highly theatrical musical adaptation of George Orwell’s savage satire, starting Wednesday, Aug. 31, at 7:30 p.m.
“Animal Farm” is adapted from Orwell’s book by Peter Hall, with lyrics by Adrian Mitchell, music by Richard Peaslee and directed by Julia Rodriguez-Elliott.
Pull the rings from your noses! Tear the saddle from your back! Bit and spur shall rust forever, cruel whips no more shall crack. Revolt is afoot at Manor Farm, when downtrodden beasts of burden rise-up against the cruel Farmer Jones, who cracks his whip for the last time. But self-ruled animal utopia quickly gives way to the temptations of power and privilege in Hall’s fast-moving musical adaptation of the satire.
“Animal Farm ” is the opening play for A Noise Within’s 2022-2023 Season: Daring to Love. The play runs through Oct. 2.
