Strap in for an electrifying take on the George Orwell classic – from the multi-award-winning creative minds at Shake & Stir Theatre Co (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.
“Shake & Stir cement themselves as masters of adaptation 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
“Shake & Stir’s exciting production of 1984 is a must-see” - Greenroom
“This is a powerful production” - Stage Whispers
