The performance blends observational wit and personal vulnerability, inviting both laughter and reflection.

Adapted by Peter Hall from George Orwell’s novel, Animal Farm is staged by Year 11 theatre students. The production channels the fable’s political bite through stripped-back staging and physical ensemble work, exploring leadership, propaganda and the corrupting nature of power. The ensemble transforms animals into archetypes, using movement, chorus and concentrated tableaux to build tense, often unsettling atmospheres. The staging balances dark satire with moments of fragile humanity, inviting reflection on authority and collective responsibility.
