A Must See – 1984 the Theatre Play

By Dean Shaw · On January 17, 2014

It is not often enough that a classic book is carefully turned into an engaging and exciting play, but we’re very excited about seeing the theatre adaptation of 1984, the book. Written by George Orwell, it is a eerie story that has proved true in so many ways, even if the things he mentioned in his book have come to fruit a few decades later than predicted. Surveillance and cernsorshgips are big themes in this story, and these are themes that are currently hitting international newspapers around the world, making this a very timely and relevant adaptation.

The book has been transformed by Robert Icke and Duncan Macmillan for Headlong Theatre company into a dynamic and entertaining theatre play. Lyn Gardner, who is a Guardian theatre critic rated this show a full 5 stars our of 5. Although this play is not necessarily an easy watch, just as the book was not an easy read, it covers many themes that have never been more relevant than they are today.
