Just imagine Orwell writing today… seeing the entire story from the point of view of an adorable knee-high piglet… A rite of passage for this once naïve, baby-face piglet Lucky, son of Napoleon, as he witnesses the rise and fall of a dream: a perfect existence without human beings. A modern commentary of the perils of corporate greed, but with all the innocence, joy and sensitivity of a fairy-tale. Just great fun, anarchic, contemporary, quick-witted and very funny … but also fearful, whereby jeopardy is in the unseen implied violence; raucous, thrilling with big set pieces; but also subtle - with incisive subversion and satire; heartbreakingly honest, accepting of sadness and emotionally ebullient” .
