1984


This adaptation of 1984 reimagines Winston Smith's reconstruction, where he is forced to re-enact key moments of his life and his 'thoughtcrimes' with the help of others convicted.


The show reimagines sex and romantic relationships through a dystopian lens, using the relationship between Julia and Winston as its focal point (especially in act one). The script uses a lot of Orwell's original dialogue and so in many ways remains true to the novel, whilst incorporating this new metatheatrical twist.
