Brand new production of George Orwell’s ANIMAL FARM to receive world premiere at Birmingham Rep

The much-anticipated brand new production of George Orwell’s Animal Farm will receive its world premiere at Birmingham Rep from 22 January – 5 February 2022 prior to a national tour.

Presented by The Children’s Theatre Partnership and Birmingham Rep, Animal Farm, Orwell’s world-famous, biting political novel, was first published in 1945 and tells the story of a revolution and its aftermath. Re-imagined by an award-winning creative team, Animal Farm is a dynamic, daring and contemporary take on a timeless story. 

‘The animals of Manor Farm drive out the farmer and run the farm themselves.

A revolution. And then what? Then freedom. Every animal will be free. 

Old Major, the prize boar, calls the animals of Manor Farm together.

He has had a strange dream of a better future.’

This brand-new production is directed and adapted by the multi award-winning Robert Icke, with designs by the four-time Olivier Award-winning Bunny Christie, and puppetry by Toby Olié.

The cast of Animal Farm includes Matt Churcher, Darcy Collins, Enrico D. Wey, Ailsa Dalling, Elisa De Grey, Edie Edmundson, Michael Jean-Marain, Rayo Patel, Yana Penrose, Markus Schabbing, Sharon Sze, Ben Thompson and Matt Tait.
