COMING SOON, 1984. It’s been 75 years since the original work by Eric Arthur Blair, or better known by his pen name: George Orwell, was published. Nearly every generation after has found similarity in the content of the tale; though none as great as our current one.
Orwell himself once said, “I do not believe that the kind of society I describe necessarily will arrive, but I believe that something resembling it could arrive. The moral to be drawn from the dangerous nightmare situation is a simple one: Don’t let it happen. It depends on you.”
Don’t miss your chance to take in this true-to-the-novel depiction of the 1940s classic dystopian horror.
For those who are not familiar with Orwell’s novel, Big Brother is always watching — ALWAYS. The story follows the comings and goings of Winston Smith. Smith lives in Oceania under a totalitarian government called The Party. Smith works for the Ministry of Truth, where he alters historical records as The Party instructs.
Free thought is a crime. Yet Smith decides to create and write in a personal diary. He thinks about being a hero with his diary; and, he thinks about becoming executed and forgotten because of it. Are there others this rebellious, he wonders, in the year 1984?
Mark your calendars now and get ready for a thrilling night of entertainment. Tickets are on sale online for the Bradford Little Theatre production of “1984.”
A cast from all over the region will bring an adapted full stage version of Orwell’s final published title to the stage.
Cast and crew of BLT issued a content advisory stating the show may not be suitable for everyone, especially those who are younger or highly sensitive. The production contains moments of implied violence but does not have direct violence or sexual situations.
