We chatted to Sam Black (who plays the character of Boxer) and Rhian Lynch (who plays the character of Napoleon) about Animal Farm returning to the Octagon Theatre in Bolton for one week only (Wed 22 Jan - Sat 1 Feb 2025).
Stellar production of Orwell’s timeless classic returns to the Octagon ahead of UK tour.
When the downtrodden animals of Manor Farm overthrow their master and take over, they imagine it is the beginning of a life of freedom and equality for all. However, over time a cunning and brutal elite among them, masterminded by the pigs Napoleon and Snowball, gradually take control. Soon the other animals discover that they are not all as equal as they once thought and find themselves ensnared as one tyranny is replaced with another.
Orwell's powerful and timeless satire on the corruption of power has captivated audiences, receiving rave reviews and sell-out performances in 2024. Now, it returns to the Octagon Theatre ahead of a UK tour.
Animal Farm has been recognised as one of The Stage's Top 50 Shows of 2024. Don’t miss this critically acclaimed production, which brings Orwell’s thought-provoking tale to life with striking direction and unforgettable performances.
