| George Orwells simple, tragic fable, telling what happens when the animals drive out Mr Jones and attempt to run the farm themselves, has become a world-famous classic. In a brand new contemporary, urban reimagining of Animal Farm, When Chaplin Met Gandhi writer James Kenworth takes Orwells classic satire and gives it a fresh, contemporary twist, injecting its timeless tale of a revolution that went wrong with a gritty, urban, in-yer-face language. In what was a first for Orwells classic satire, the show was performed in one of Londons longest established and largest inner-city farms, Newham City Farm, and featured a unique, mixed economy casting of Newham school pupils acting alongside professional actors. |

"With the unique blessing of The George Orwell Estate, playwright James Kenworth keeps close to the original narrative, rendering events explicable for those new to the novel. A modern twist is added with the use of urban language - an urbanity percussioned by occasional planes taking off from City Airport nearby." -- British Theatre Guide

"Instead of ""Four legs good, two legs bad"", the animals are whipped up to chant ""Four legs badass, two legs wasteman"" in this terrifically powerful update...Highly recommended." -- The Independent
