Animal Farm: The Play's Relevance To The Book

The Wild Rice production mirrors the book, so I had no trouble following the storyline. Some sections were summarised or simply narrated, like the Battle of the Cowshed. As I had read the book before, and knew the plot like the back of my hand, it was not a problem for me. Watching the play helps reinforce some of the messages and themes of the book. However, for sheer character development and plot nuances, I would still prefer the book version to the play.
