August, 1984. Comrade 6079, Winston Smith, thinks a thought, starts a diary, and falls in love. But Big Brother is always watching.

Robert Icke and Duncan Macmillian’s chilling adaptation follows a group of historians as they discover the diary of Comrade 6079, Winston Smith. In a world where all citizens are closely watched by Big Brother, Winston's life is jeopardised when he suddenly begins to think free thoughts that threaten the powers that be.

This radical reimagining of the classic dystopian novel explores surveillance, identity and why Orwell’s vision of the future is more relevant now than ever.
