Well life on the farm is kinda laid back… unless you’re a work horse, a sheep, a chicken, or a pig. And they’ve had it up to their briskets with abuse, back ache, stolen eggs. It’s time to take a four-legged stand. Hatch a plan. Kick out Farmer Jones and seize his land.
But who will lead this rowdy bunch? They need a leader – a captain – a hefty hunk of ham to do this job: equal parts wit, strength and streaky bacon. Rebellion, comrades! Crack some eggs, splatter some cow patties, and paint the walls with freedom.
Green Room Award winning ensemble Bloomshed mixes big political ideas with entertaining and accessible storytelling. Animal Farm is a deliciously satirical high-octane mix of dance breaks, physical comedy, and confetti. A whirlwind ride through revolution – if you want to make an omelette, you’ve got to crack some eggs.
