1984 : The play

Synopsis

April, 1984. Winston Smith thinks a thought, starts a diary, and falls in love.

But Big Brother is watching him, and the door to Room 101 can swing open in the blink of an eye.

The definitive book of the 20th century is re-examined in a radical new adaptation exploring why Orwell's vision of the future is as relevant as ever.
