Robert Icke and Duncan Macmillan’s stage version of George Orwell’s 1984 is a gripping experience and the first attempt to dramatise the appendix of the novel in any medium.

Set in the dark world of Oceania, where Big Brother watches everyone and free thought is a crime, it follows Winston Smith, a quiet Party worker who dares to break the rules. He begins to write a secret diary and falls in love with Julia, risking everything to fight back against a cruel and controlling system.
