VIDEO: Penn-Trafford High School Drama Guild to stage 'Animal Farm' next month
Patrick Varine | Tribune-Review
Cast members in the Penn-Trafford High School Drama Guild's production of 'Animal Farm' rehearse on Tuesday, Oct. 17, 2017.
Next month, the Penn-Trafford High School Drama Guild will stage a production of “Animal Farm,” George Orwell's 1945 political allegory in which a group of farm animals takes over an English farm after driving the drunken, irresponsible farmer out.
What happens next touches on themes of political dogma and abuse of power, as a group of pigs begin leading the animals and — over time — begin acting more and more like the subjugating farmer they drove out in the first place.
Director Tom Bekavac spoke with the Trib about choosing the play.
