About 1984


Adapted by Robert Owens, Wilton E. Hall Jr. and William A. Miles Jr. From the novel by George Orwell

April 3-5 & 10-12, 2020


This authorized stage adaptation is true to the novel in which Orwell
depicts with great power the horrors of man’s fate in a society where
Big Brother is always watching—where everything that is not prohibited
is compulsory. As your cast presents the play, you will be participating
 in a theatrical event that is both powerful and disturbingly
provocative. 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.”
