1984 Theatre breaks

Seen by a quarter of a million people in a sold-out international tour, in acclaimed 1984 returns again to London's Playhouse Theatre for a limited season.

1984 tells the story of a dystopian future where the world is divided into three authoritarian superpowers. Winston Smith a resident of Airstrip One, formerly the United Kingdom, and is employed by the Ministry of Truth to edit newspapers past and present so that they conform to the party line. Orwell’s masterpiece is an exploration of power, truth and the human condition, and is widely heralded as one of the greatest books of the 20th century.

The spirit of Owell's terrifying vision of the future is brought to life. Robert Icke, who co-adapted and co-directed 1984, says: “we wanted to suck the marrow out of its bones, we wanted to mainline the essence of it”. The ideas and emotions of the story are made to feel frightening real in the 101 minutes that this critically acclaimed production is on the stage.
