Description: > April, 1984. Winston Smith, thinks a thought, starts a diary, and falls in love. But Big Brother is watching him, and the door to Room 101 can swing open in the blink of an eye. > > Its ideas have become our ideas, and Orwell’s fiction is often said to be our reality. Now seen by over a quarter of a million people, this radical, award-winning adaptation re-examines the definitive book of the 20th century and explores why Orwell’s vision of the future is as relevant now as ever.
