We embrace a theatre that is fearless and uncompromising. We are not afraid to explore uncharted territories or challenge conventional narratives. Using a mix of traditional and innovative storytelling techniques, we aim to create experiences that are not only immersive but also provoke thought and discussion among our audiences. Our goal is to stimulate reflection and debate, encouraging audiences to ponder and question, rather than providing definitive answers.

Animal Farm, The Sequel
In the aftermath of a revolution gone awry, the beasts of Animal Farm embrace a new ideology, 'Neoanimalism', hoping it will lead them to true freedom and prosperity. As they navigate this new era, they are challenged by the intricacies of democracy, trade, environmental degradation, and the tantalizing temptation of panzucar - a deceptively sweet distraction. Soon it becomes evident that the appealing veneer of Neoanimalism masks deep-seated struggles and familiar contradictions. Fast-forwarding three generations beyond the closure of George Orwell's seminal work, this gripping tale continues the saga on Animal Farm, unveiling layers of ambition, deceit, and the relentless pursuit of an ideal world.
'Animal Farm, The Sequel' is a continuation of Orwell’s legacy in a modern context. It stands as a thought-provoking, timely piece that resonates with contemporary global challenges. The play blends satire, drama, and social commentary to delve into the themes of power, greed, and the corruption of ideals. Set against the backdrop of environmental decay, inequality, and societal unrest, the play is a stark reminder of the challenges facing our own world, urging audiences to engage with global issues.
'Animal Farm, The Sequel' is the first production of Talkin’ Turkey Theatre.
