Youth Theatre: Animal Farm Response Piece

24 Mar 2025

  • Venue
    Quarry
  • Age guidance

Our The Big Give – Arts for Impact week will culminate in a performance from our Youth Theatre, presenting their unique response to Animal Farm. It's free, and we’d love for you to join us!

This performance is a work in progress offering a glimpse into the journey of our young people as they explore bold ideas and bring their creativity to life on a professional stage. One of the most thrilling elements for our young performers is the opportunity to be performing on the Quarry stage with actual Animal Farm set, giving them a chance to experience the magic of theatre in a whole new way.

Inspired by the themes of Animal Farm, which has just been nominated at the prestigious Olivier Awards, the groups have devised thought-provoking pieces, touching on political ideas, power, and even themes including colonialism and The British Museum. This is a chance to see young artists experimenting, taking creative risks, and using theatre to explore the world around them.

We’d love to have you there to support, celebrate, and be inspired by the next generation of theatre-makers.
