1984 (2016)

The five-star smash hit production of Orwell’s dystopian masterpiece 1984 is back in London from 14th June. Now seen by over a quarter of a million people, theatre’s most powerful event returns to London for a limited season. Don’t miss out.

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 this radical and much lauded staging exploring surveillance, identity and why Orwell’s vision of the future is as relevant now as ever.

Sonia Friedman Productions and Eleanor Lloyd Productions present the Headlong, Nottingham Playhouse and Almeida Theatre production of “1984” by George Orwell, new adaptation created by Robert Icke and Duncan Macmillan.
