BLIND SUMMIT ADAPTS GEORGE ORWELL's classic dystopian novel for stage with puppets, signs and shouting.
A company of agit prop players from Airstrip One present "The Horrible And Disgusting Story Of The Love Affair Of Thought Criminal Winston Smith and his Whore Lover Julia Birch".
Shouting wildly at the audience, using the simplest special effects with complete disregard for stage craft, any entertainment is unintentional and undesirable. Our only requirement is that you learn...
“Fiendishly clever...
brilliantly inventive and true to Orwell’s vision”
****
Lyn Gardner, The Guardian
"Superb acting..."
**** Dominic Cavendish, The
Daily Telegraph
"Seriously ingenious...
the talent, political commitment and energy on display
here gives you hope for our own future... energetic
and engaging physical theatre."
**** Critics' Choice Time Out
