Animal Farm

Hi! In this blog post I'm going to talk about the play Animal Farm.

Is the the content of the play similar to the book
I thought that the play was quite similar to the book but some of the parts were omitted or added in, giving us the feeling of surprise every now and then even though we have read the book. For example, the book's original song was Beast of England while the play's was Beast of Ireland.The end of the play was also altered to become a press conference instead of the original ending.

Which character is the most effective on stage
I personally think that the character which is most effective on stage is Squealer. Squealer speaks eloquently and is capable of twisting the truth into sentences that do good to Napoleon. He was persuasive enough to make the animals believe in Napoleon, even though what he says were lies.Hence I think that his ability to deliver speeches so confidently and convincingly makes him the most effective on stage.

A review
The play was carried out in a similar way as written in the book, but with scenes omitted or added.At the start of the play, different people dress up in different costumes began dancing around. They stripped and the plot began to make more sense. It was then the play began to make sense and what happened in the book happened in the play. However,I think that the book was able to deliver the characters more effectively than the play as there were limited numbers of actors. Many of the parts were actually humorous, very unlike the book. For example the part where they chased out Jones, they played a Chinese Kung fu song. The part where Snowball was exiled was also quite funny. In conclusion, i think that the play was somewhat similar to the book but with some scenes that were funny, which the book cannot display.
