Conundrum Theatre: George Orwell’s Animal Farm by Van Badham
18 February @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm ACDT

Political powerhouse Van Badham (Banging Denmark, The Questions, Muff, The Bloody Chamber) and Conundrum Theatre (Only Human, buckets, Motormouth & Suckface: An Apocalyptic Love Story) deliver an internet-fast, brilliantly sharp adaptation of George Orwell’s response to authoritarian government in ‘Animal Farm’.
Blending the original themes with modern technology and social media, and exploring the dangers of power and corruption in a contemporary context, this high-octane satire boils with the potency and emergency of a viral tweet. It’s ‘Animal Farm’ for the MAGA age.
