A powerful and straightforward dramatisation of Orwell's enduring parable on the perils of totalitarianism. Ian Wooldridge's dramatisation of Animal Farm remains faithful to Orwell's original, retaining both its affection for the animals and the inciciveness of its message. It was first performed by TAG Theatre Company at the Citizens Theatre, Glasgow, in 1982. This edition contains production notes for schools and other groups wishing to stage the play.
