GUY MASTERSON & THEATRE TOURS INTERNATIONAL:Animal Farm by George Orwell Adapted & Performed by Guy Masterson Directed by Tony Boncza Dydd Gwener 1 Chwefror :: Friday 1 February, 7.30yh/pm £13 (£12) Theatr Mwldan, Cardigan Animal Farm is perhaps the 20th Century’s most important work of political satire. Guy Masterson’s unique SOLO theatrical interpretation, created in 1995, succeeded in bringing the book to vivid life making it accessible to all ages in a dramatic physical performance storytelling that won world-wide acclaim. Seventeen years later Guy is touring Animal Farm for one last time, appearing at Mwldan on Friday 1 February at 7.30yh/pm. Using nothing but a wooden box (or sometimes a bale of hay), some amazingly creative sound effects and effective lighting, the story is told with clarity, power and truth. Masterson tells the story through the characters, switching from animal to animal, each having a different voice and characterisation. The audience thus follows the narrative. The simplicity and magic of Orwell’s fairytale and his allegorical message of betrayed idealism is conveyed with blinding relevance proving the work to be as important today as it was 60 years ago. Guy Masterson’s magnificent solo performance of Orwell’s classic satire has to be seen to be believed! He ignites this famous yarn bringing a modern sinister relevance to Orwell’s masterwork leaving an indelible imprint in the consciousness. Hilariously comic and powerfully poignant by turns, Masterson’s breathtaking storytelling creates the farmyard around you in 2 hours of utterly compelling theatre. As the most performed solo show in the world, this is a must see performance for all ages. If you know the story or remember it from school... you won’t believe it! Tickets for Animal Farm are £13 full price (£12 concessions) and are available now from Theatr Mwldan’s Box Office on 01239 621200 or on-line at www.mwldan.co.uk. "Some actors are more equal than others, but few are quite as equal as Guy Masterson!" The Times "A brilliant adaptation which delights with its physical grace and artistry. It's complex and entirely theatrical; a combination of bravura acting and poetic storytelling which milks new nuance and meaning. A prodigious talent!" The Scotsman |
