Born for This

Colourful and artistic image with blurred faces of young people

About

Get ready for Born For This, an exciting musical inspired by George Orwell’s Animal Farm.

This new show brings to life the story of a group of animals who seize control of their farm, only to find that power can corrupt even the noblest of intentions. As one group rises to dominance, the balance of equality and fairness quickly begins to unravel. 

With original songs and a powerful performance by Youth Theatre One, Born For This explores the dangerous allure of power, the fight for justice, and the importance of staying vigilant to ensure true equality.

Don’t miss this unforgettable journey into a world where power can make or break everything.

Pricing

The work of the Young Company is always youth led and always developing, and our young people want as wide an audience as possible to come and see their work, so tickets for their performances are priced as Pay What You Want.

Tickets start from £5.
If you want to pay over the suggested price, please feel free to do so. If, after you've seen the piece, you want to pay more please see our front of house team who will direct you to a pay point to make a donation to Chickenshed
