It is the Age of Total Surveillance
Everything you say or do is scrutinised.
Even your innermost thoughts are probed.
You cannot be too careful.
In an age when we are tracked, monitored and influenced, Orwell’s vision has never been closer to reality.
Be drawn into the world of Orwell’s iconic novel, brought to life in a site-specific performance in the magnificent Hackney Town Hall. After a sell-out run in 2023 this production returns under the new direction of Jack Reardon. Don’t miss this unique and powerful reimagining of 1984.
