Blind Summit and BAC present a new adaptation of George Orwell's classic dystopian novel.

Adapted for stage by Blind Summit Theatre

 

“Fiendishly clever... brilliantly inventive and true to Orwell’s vision”
**** Lyn Gardner, The Guardian

"A winning spirit of experimental subversion... superb acting... what should be the most depressing evening in town proves a weird, feel-good delight'
**** 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

"Simon Scardifield is powerfully restrained"
My London Your London

"Julia Innocenti is a potent combination of sensual swinging hips and stubborn flashing eyes"
What's On Stage

"Chris Branch’s haunting techno score, with its ambient melodies and witty computerized beats is at points disturbingly emotive"
