Synopsis
Animal Farm - Staged Reading Version
Nelson Bond from George Orwell
Published by Samuel French Inc
5 Male 2 Female
In staged dramatic reading version of this timely allegory you will meet beasts whose prototypes have dominated news headlines for many fearful years. Opening on a note of joyous triumph for the creatures who have emancipated themselves from the cruel mastery of a human owner, the reading mounts inexorably to a climax of disillusionment in which the other animals discover themselves now subject to the rule of even more ruthless autocrats: the greedy, cunning pigs
Intermingling humor and drama, Animal Farm wrings the emotions of its listeners, leaving audiences shaken with the tale of a tragedy that happened in a mythical barnyard far away but could happen in our own back yard
This version has been especially adapted to suit a Staged Reading and is therefore particularly useful in the classroom
