1984

Talking ShadowsStudent/Youth company

War is Peace. Freedom is Slavery. Ignorance is Strength. In a world of deceit and disappeared dissidents, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act. Orwell’s masterpiece imagines the reality of a boot stamping on a human face – forever. Following previous sell-out shows of 1984, this new version is led by acclaimed writer/director Rebecca Vines. ***** (1984 – BroadwayBaby.com). ***** (Chatroom – TheNewCurrent.co.uk). ***** (Punk Rock – ThreeWeeks). **** (Crime and Punishment – BroadwayBaby.com). **** (Coward Conscience – BritishTheatreGuide.info). **** (More Myself Than I Am – TheWeeReview.com).
