A chilling and unmissable reimagining of George Orwell’s timeless political satire arrives in Liverpool, as Animal Farm takes centre stage at The Everyman and Playhouse Theatres in a gripping new production.
This powerful retelling of Orwell’s iconic novel follows the downtrodden animals of Manor Farm as they rise up against their human master, dreaming of freedom, equality, and a better life for all. But as the pigs Napoleon and Snowball begin to lead, power shifts—and a new regime takes hold. What begins as revolution quickly descends into dictatorship, and the animals discover that some are, indeed, more equal than others.
Brought to the stage with bold visuals and emotionally charged performances, this adaptation captures the heart of Orwell’s message: the corrupting nature of power, the fragility of freedom, and the dangerous ease with which truth can be manipulated. With themes that still resonate today—from misinformation to political spin—Animal Farm remains as relevant in 2025 as it was in 1945.
Perfect for students, families, and fans of modern theatre, this must-see show offers both entertainment and education in equal measure. Age recommendation: 11+
