Animal Farm 
Animal Farm is a fable about a group of farm animals who have been neglected, oppressed and enslaved by their farmer, Mr Jones. The story has many resonances with our current world and contains challenging themes and depictions of societal neglect, slavery, animal cruelty, class, inequality, protest, fake news and manipulation, democracy and power. The play contains violence using guns, whips and cattle prods, and some animals are brutally killed. There will be the presence of blood in the production - this blood will be fake. Two of the characters are mothers whose foals/eggs have been taken from them and this is explored in the play.
