Produktbeschreibung

ROOM 101... BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU... SUPER STATES ... THOUGHT POLICE...

On 4th April 1984, Winston Smith, comrade 6079, starts a diary. In a world where every action is painstakingly monitored and controlled, this simple act puts Winston's life in jeopardy. A clandestine love affair with co-worker Julia further enrages the authorities, but can they truly trust each other? And what of the mysterious O'Brien? Will he help them overthrow the regime, confront them with their most terrifying fears, or worse...?

Shocking and fantastical when first written in 1949, Orwell's novel has remained one of the most chillingly prescient novels of the last century. This thrilling stage adaptation by Ryan Craig was published to coincide with the world premiere at the Yvonne Arnaud Theatre, Guildford, in October 2024
