BWW Review: ANIMAL FARM Makes for Relevant, but Rocky Theater at the Milwaukee Rep
by Kelsey Lawler - January 17, 2018
Bleak. Cold. Apocalyptic. Even before the house lights dimmed, the mood was already dreary. The stage is laden with a mess of concrete, metal, and a visual manifestation of shattered dreams for what would be a rather brain-wrenching, hope-dashing 90 minutes. Of course, that's just what Orwell's novel is meant to convey.
