6 Feb — 29 Mar 2014

April, 1984. 13:00. Comrade 6079, Winston Smith, thinks a thought, starts a diary, and falls in love. But Big Brother is always watching.

Orwell’s ideas have become our ideas; his fiction is often said to be our reality. The “definitive book of the 20th century” (The Guardian) is re-examined in a radical new staging exploring surveillance, identity and why Orwell’s vision of the future is as relevant now as ever.

1984 transferred to the Playhouse Theatre in the West End and ran from 28th April to the 23rd of August 2014. It was revived in and ran at the Playhouse Theatre from 14th June to the 29th October 2016.
