'To the future or to the past, to a time when thought is free: From the age of uniformity, from the age of Big Brother, from the age of doublethink… greetings!'
Award winning Box Tale Soup present a stunning new adaptation of Orwell's dystopian classic.
Known for their ingenious sets and slick storytelling, Box Tale Soup's unique puppetry becomes a striking metaphor for Orwell's chilling vision of power and control.
The year is 1984, perhaps – it is impossible to tell for certain. We are being watched, Big Brother is everywhere, truth changes daily, and everyone conforms. But for Winston Smith, insignificant cog in the Party's vast machine, this half-life is not enough. He dreams of freedom, but is he the only one? Dreams can be deadly when rebellion begins with a thought.
Featuring the voices of Sophie Aldred & Joanna Lumley, with Simon Russell Beale as the voice of Big Brother.
