Drama
Shake & Stir Theatre Co and Araluen Arts Centre present 1984 by George Orwell adapted by Shake & Stir.
Big Brother is back.
Strap in for an electrifying take on the George Orwell classic – from the multi-award winning creative minds at Shake & Stir (Frankenstein, Jane Eyre, Animal Farm and Dracula).
It was a bright cold day, and the clocks were striking thirteen...
Winston Smith, an editor at the Ministry of Truth, sits quietly. A quick swig of gin; a glance of quiet optimism toward the telescreen. Winston opens his diary, puts pen to paper, and in doing so, commits the essential crime that contains all others in itself. A radical and unprecedented act of rebellion.
Discovered, entrapped, and incarcerated in the Ministry of Love, Winston, in defending his burning desire for personal freedom, prepares for the fight of his life. Can the oppressive forces of The Party, led by BIG BROTHER, obliterate the indomitable human spirit?
And what exactly awaits within Room 101?
“Shake & Stir Theatre Co cement themselves as masters of adaption with 1984”
Australian Stage
“This Is one of the most carefully integrated productions I’ve experienced. The Emotional circumstances conjured by Orwell in print are superbly realised on stage.”
The Border Mail
