Animal Farm by Bloomshed Presented by Darebin Arts Speakeasy at Northcote Town Hall Arts Centre

Farmer Jones has lost control. The animals of Manor Farm are rising up to seize the means
of production, and soon these downtrodden freedom fighters will be ruling the roost
themselves. 

But who's got the chops to lead this rowdy bunch? They need a leader – a captain – a hefty
hunk of ham with equal parts wit, strength and streaky bacon. Enter: Napoleon, a pig who's
ready to take the reins, and no qualms breaking a few eggs if that's what it comes to.  
Rebellion, comrades! It's time to throw hooves, splatter some cow patties, and paint the
walls red with freedom! 

Green Room Award winning ensemble Bloomshed (Paradise Lost) return to Northcote
Town Hall Arts Centre with an epic rework of George Orwell's riveting response to the
Russian revolution and the Soviet slide to totalitarianism. With their signature satirical style -
and a political climate that's ripe for a good roasting - this bolshy take on Animal Farm will
have you ready to storm the barricades yourself.
