DESCRIPTION:Metro State’s Theater Underground presents Animal Farm, George Orwell’s classic tale of revolution, power, and the fragility of truth, adapted for the stage by Ian Wooldridge and directed by Teresa Mock. Performances take place October 16, 17, 22, and 23 at 7:30 p.m., with a 2:00 p.m. matinee on October 17 and 24, at the Whitney Fine Arts Theater, 1424 Yale Place in Minneapolis.First published in 1946, Animal Farm follows a group of farm animals who overthrow their human owner in the hope of creating a just and equal society. As authority consolidates, however, ideals are compromised, language is manipulated, and the revolution begins to resemble the oppression it once rejected.Mock’s production brings Orwell’s allegory to life through physical performance, ensemble storytelling, and striking visual imagery. The staging invites audiences to encounter the story not as a historical artifact, but as a living examination of power, persuasion, and the choices that shape public life.“2026 marks the 80th anniversary since Animal Farm was first published as a warning, and it really couldn’t feel more prescient to continue sharing this story today. In a time of widening economic disparity and exploitative demagogues, Animal Farm reminds us that our hope, and what is worth believing in, is ordinary people. These are the voices that our production aims to bring into focus.” said Mock.Animal Farm addresses enduring questions amid today's competing narratives and growing distrust of institutions: How is trust earned and lost? How can language shape reality? And when do small compromises become something more dangerous?This play is recommended for theater lovers, students, educators, and audiences interested in a classic story that continues to spark conversation.
