1984 @ the ART

By George Orwell A new adaptation created by Robert Icke & Duncan Macmillan Presented in association with Headlong, Almeida Theatre, & Nottingham Playhouse April, 1984. Comrade 6079, Winston Smith, thinks a thought, starts a diary, and falls in love. But Big Brother is always watching, and the door to Room 101 can swing open in the blink of an eye. The definitive book of the 20th century is re-examined in a radical, award-winning adaptation exploring surveillance, identity and why Orwell's vision of the future is as relevant now as ever. This ground-breaking production comes direct from the UK and an extended smash-hit run in the West End. 6:00-7:15 pm Reception at Gutman Library with remarks by Liz Eddy, Associate Producer at Headlong Theatre, and Daniel Raggett, Associate Director of 1984 7:30 pm Performance at Loeb Drama Center The Office of Faculty Development and Diversity will have a limited number of discounted tickets available for purchase.
