CONTEXT
From the moment of it's 1st publishing till 1988, Orwell's novel was banned in the USSR.
In 2022, "1984" had become the most popular novel in Russia, yet that same year the book was banned in Belarus.
To mark the 40th anniversary of Orwell's narrative and living under authoritarian rule, we are bringing an adaptation of "1984" to the UK.
PERFORMANCE
Based on Nick Hern's play "1984," our performance delves into themes of surveillance and control, providing a chilling and immersive experience that challenges perceptions of truth and reality. The play serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of unchecked power and the importance of preserving truth and freedom in society.
Unable to perform "1984" in Belarus or Russia, WITHINTHEATRE is taking this novel to the stage in the UK to share our story with a broader audience.
