In Conversation with SAMATER AHMED discussing Animal Farm at The Octagon Bolton
WATCH THE VIDEO HERE!We chatted to Samater Ahmed who is playing the character, Snowball, in the production of Animal Farm running at The Octagon in Bolton from February 1st to 24th 2024.
A powerful re-telling of George Orwell’s chilling and timeless classic.
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.
In our captivating adaptation of Orwell's masterpiece, witness the farmyard revolution unfold under the watchful gaze of an ever-present authority as we explore the chilling reality of constant surveillance, where every action is scrutinised, secrets are uncovered, and trust becomes a fragile commodity.
