BYMT to present new musical theatre reimagining of ANIMAL FARM at Birmingham Hippodrome

A new folky musical theatre reimagining of George Orwell’s classic book, Animal Farm, is coming to Birmingham Hippodrome from 5-7 April 2024.

Produced by BYMT, the show is written and directed by Ellie Jones, alongside writer, composer and lyricist Josh Kemp, and lyricist Tom Ling.

Steeped in fake news, cancel culture, and the curtailing of free speech, a group of animals rebel against their human farmer hoping to create a society where the animals can be equal, free, and happy – only to find themselves in a different dictatorship, as bad as the one before, this time under the control of one of the pigs.

Satirical and political allegory written in the 1940s - questions of power, corruption, false information and controlling the people continue to be very relevant today.
