    by George Orwell

    adapted by Nelson Bond

    directed by Stefanie Sertich

    Justice, honor, and a political experiment gone awry.

    "Comrades, the answer to all of our problems lies in a single word...Man!- Major, The Boar

    The animals of Manor Farm revolt against their human masters to take control of the farm and their own fate in order to create a society where "the community" is supreme and an individual's existence is forsaken to serve the greater good. George Orwell's biting satire about the rise of Communism shows the Great Russian Experiment as an idealists dream converted by realists into a nightmare.
