Episode description

Back by popular demand. While we were initially inspired by a 32-second script of Shakespeare's "Macbeth" that we found at www.folger.edu, this time we continued the tradition by writing our own! We compiled some of the key lines from George Orwell's "Animal Farm" and condensed the whole of the story into 32 seconds. Here's the script: All: Beasts of England, Beasts of Ireland Sheep: 4 Legs good 2 Legs bad Squealer: Comrades, Pigs need the milk and apples Boxer: I will work harder Farmer Jones: Death to Animal Farm! All Animals: CHARGE!!! Napoleon: The enemy has overthrown our windmill? Squealer: Snowball did it! Boxer: I will work harder Napoleon: Hens surrender your eggs Boxer: Napoleon is always right Pigeons: Death to Pilkington Mr. Whymper: The bank notes are all forgeries Pigeons: Death to Frederick Pilkington: Serves you right Moses: There it lies Sugar Candy Mountain Boxer: I will work harder “Boxer Dies” Knacker Truck: “sirens” All Animals: To the Hospital! The slaughter house? Napoleon: Pass me the Whiskey Squealer: All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others. THE END
