"All animals are equal. But some animals are more equal than others."
"Astounding... bracingly modern... an elemental power... Tatty Hennessy's bold yet elegant adaptation does not just carry Orwell's critique of Stalinist Russia, and the book's eternal message on the corrupting nature of power, but also bears resonances of the here and now... You feel these characters' stories as a human tragedy and the entire show pulsates with an immaculate and brilliant modernity. A must-see."
The Guardian
"Tatty Hennessy's muscular, cogent adaptation... punchy and polished, blunt at times yet also sharp, subtle and intellectually harrowing... demonstrates how strongly Orwell's iconic political allegory can still speak to us today."
The Times
"Shockingly relevant... essential viewing... it's Animal Farm like you've never seen before... It all unfolds with magnetic, gritty storytelling... brutal and cruel, superbly effective... a complete, cohesive piece that does what theatre should do in times of crisis. It's alluring and alarming, thoroughly entertaining and thought-provoking."
Broadway World
"Gripping, galvanising… Tatty Hennessy's extraordinary adaptation."
The Stage (2021)
"Clear-eyed and unfussy... heartrending... this is no charming pastoral folk story... a story that is as relevant as ever."
WhatsOnStage
"Every generation deserves a defining production of this school-syllabus favourite: one that kindles a rage in new audiences, and reignites it in returning viewers. Surely this is it."
The Stage (2025)
"Raw, vigorous and profound... Tatty Hennessy does a brilliant job at preserving the heart of the story and keeping the themes and messages true to the original tale whilst still making it feel fresh. Her script is devastating, funny and thought-provoking."
