Events


Animal Farm (live production)

Thursdays 10, 17 and 24 September 2009, 7pm

Set against the backdrop of the Animalism exhibition in Gallery One, explore what happens when the animals throw out ‘Farmer Jones’ and run the farm for themselves; when horses, cows, pigs, sheep and hens take control of their own lives and declare war on humanity. For three nights in September, Paper Zoo Theatre Company will take over Gallery One and play out their spectacular version of George Orwell’s classic novel, Animal Farm. Tickets cost £3.00, places are limited so please book in advance.
