Tired of oppression under their human owner, the animals of Manor Farm rise up and take control, dreaming of a society where all animals are equal. But as the pigs assume leadership, their revolution slowly gives way to manipulation, corruption, and tyranny. Darkly humorous and increasingly unsettling, Animal Farm explores power, propaganda, class, and the frightening ease with which noble ideals can be twisted by those who seek control.
