     All I Really Need to Know I Learned by Being in a Bad Play

    Night of the LIving Spartans

    		 
     
    George Orwell's
    ANIMAL FARM
    Adapted by Ian Woolridge
     
    When the animals uprise and overtake Manor Farm a new system of government is installed, but is it better than what came before?  The pigs take the reins of leadership but the other animals find themselves sacrificing more than they bargained for.
     
    Orwell wrote the novella over 70 years ago as an allegory for the rise of communism, but its horrorific themes about the corruptive nature of power are still important today.
     
    Public performances are Thursday, February 14 amd Friday, February 15 at North Auditorium.
     
    Tickets are available at the door for $5.
