Animal Farm at William Head prison

November 26, 2008

William Head on Stage is a unique theatre group as it is made up of current prisoners. In June WHOS produced ‘Waiting for Godot’ and this month they are producing Orwell’s Animal Farm. I loved their version of WFG and Animal Farm did not disappoint. The sets were fresh and interesting and the performances were wonderful. The characters of Moses the raven and Squealer were particularly well done. Before the play and during the intermission attendees also had the chance to purchase some of the lovely and very reasonably priced crafts produced in the William Head workshop. The final performances are on this weekend. I would definitely recommend going along! Tickets are $18. For more details see:
