(9 actors) Synapse Productions' Animal Farm (the Puppet Musical) brings to wonderful life the classic Orwell novel. Based on the landmark musical stage adaptation created by Peter Hall and Adrian Mitchell for England's Royal National Theatre, Synapse Productions has re-imagined the work to include the creation of a cast of extraordinary full-body puppets.
Using a variety of puppet styles including hand, stick-and-rod, Bunraku, masks and stilts, the audience is transported into a fantasy world of idealistic farm animals who eagerly throw off their chains of slavery and human oppression only to be faced with the challenges of their hard-won liberty.
A compelling exploration of direct democracy, Animal Farm (the Puppet Musical) is an unforgettable theatrical experience for audiences of all ages.
"With delightful life-sized puppets and songs ranging from anthems to music hall ditties, there's not a weak link in the entire barn. It is fun for the whole family."
-The New York Times
"Witty and eloquent...Animal Farm hits the bull's-eye!"
-TimeOut New York
