About this listen

"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.

Packs A Lot In A Concise Package

Illustrates the dangers of not being allowed to think and speak freely. The "slippery slope" is real...and things can slide quickly.

Dramatization was excellent.

A must-to-read novel

Another amazing book by Orwell.
Narration was very good. It is dramatized which makes it like a radio program.

Review

It was quite well done. My only complaint is that some of the sound effects and crowd noises were a lot louder than the speaking allumés so I had to play with the volume a lot
