‘1984’

1984
By George Orwell
A new adaptation created by Robert Icke and Duncan MacMillan

Directed by Lindsay Lovell

Winston Smith, living under the totalitarian rule of The Party, has the idea of writing a diary. It is a crime punishable by death and “Big Brother is always watching”.

Think you know Orwell’s 1984? Doublethink again. In this disturbing, fast-paced adaptation from Icke and Macmillan, Winston lives, imagines and remembers events as he dares to dream of a world free of Big Brother. What is history and what is false memory? What is real and what is fantasy? Who and what can be trusted?

Features mature and disturbing themes, and use of loud, sudden noises, and strobe lighting intended to increase the audience’s sense of discomfort. Includes: Authoritarianism, Psychological Manipulation, Fake Blood, Gun Shots, Brief references and depictions of political murder, Torture, Inference of sex.
