Publisher's summary

"All animals are equal. But some animals are more equal than others."

Animal Farm - the history of a revolution that went wrong - is George Orwell's brilliant satire on the corrupting influence of power. Mr Jones of Manor Farm is so lazy and drunken that one day he forgets to feed his livestock. The ensuing rebellion under the leadership of the pigs Napoleon and Snowball leads to the animals taking over the farm. Vowing to eliminate the terrible inequities of the farmyard, the renamed Animal Farm is organised to benefit all who walk on four legs. But as time passes, the ideals of the rebellion are corrupted, then forgotten. And something new and unexpected emerges....

Tamsin Greig, Nicky Henson, and Toby Jones star in this new drama, part of BBC Radio 4's The Real George Orwell season - a Radio 4 journey that explores the disjuncture between the man who was Eric Blair and the writer who was George Orwell.

Awesome satire of politics

Animal Farm by George Orwell is such an amazing satire of the political schemes, backstage, personas and games. Beautifully portrayed by the animals in the farm, and specially genius that the politicians are pigs. Awesome!

Required listening!

Back before schools were privatized this was required if all students. It is an important work.
This audio dramatization is excellent! Well done and enjoyable, please take the time to appreciate what this story means to us all.

Every American & Every Person on Earth needs to re

Listen so you learn the slippery slope towards Communism. A slope America is sadly welcoming with open arms.

Happening today

Our Country is going through this right now!! If we do not learn from our history, then we will be led by the pigs also!!! Socialism does not work. It always goes into Communism, with a dictatorship.
