Animal Farm - A Doncaster Little Theatre Production
"All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others" When the animals in the farmyard rebel against their tyrannical farmer and take control of the farm, they hope to create a world where they can be equal, happier and free. But as power shifts and a new leader emerges, they soon face the age-old question: what does it really mean to be equal.

This shocking new take on the story that is becoming more relevant by the hour, will transport the audience onto the farm and see the reality of the animal's life. With a vast ensemble of characters this raw tale be sure to keep you on your feet.
