By George Orwell
Adapted by Shake & Stir
Big Brother is back.
Strap in for an electrifying take on the George Orwell classic – from the multi award winning creative minds at Shake & Stir.
It was a bright cold day, and the clocks were striking thirteen...
Winston Smith, an editor at the Ministry of Truth, sits quietly. A quick swig of gin; a glance of quiet optimism toward the telescreen. Winston opens his diary, puts pen to paper, and in doing so, commits the essential crime that contains all others in itself. A radical and unprecedented act of rebellion.
Discovered, entrapped, and incarcerated in the Ministry of Love, Winston, in defending his burning desire for personal freedom, prepares for the fight of his life. Can the oppressive forces of The Party, led by Big Brother, obliterate the indomitable human spirit?
And what exactly awaits within Room 101?
“Shake & Stir’s 1984 is a hard-hitting piece of theatre that brings everything to the table and delivers.” — Australian Stage
