Pygmalion by George Bernard Shaw

Animal Farm by George Orwell (adapted by Ian Wooldridge)
George Orwell’s satire on the perils of Stalinism has proved magnificently long-lived as a parable about totalitarianism anywhere and has given the world at least one immortal phrase: “Some are more equal than others.”

Date: Wed 17 April 2024, 6.30-9.30 p.m.
