Overview
1984
By George Orwell
A new adaptation by Chris Hannan
A Citizens Theatre, Dundee Rep Theatre and The Royal Lyceum Theatre Edinburgh Co-Production
Big Brother is watching you.
The Thought Police monitor every word you say.
Children spy on their parents and the Party has abolished the truth.
In this totally controlled world, Winston and Julia begin a love affair which catapults them into rebellion against the Party.
The nightmare of a totalitarian society built on terror and lies is brought to vivid life in this powerful new adaptation of Orwell’s final novel, which dramatises Winston and Julia’s epic battle to be human against all odds.
In 2026, George Orwell’s terrifying post-truth world of ‘alternative facts’ is more relevant than ever before.
