1984 - George Orwell

A stage adaptation of the famous dystopian novel, performed at the Nixel-Scheune
by and with Anette Daugardt and Uwe Neumann

"Big Brother is watching you" - over seventy years ago, George Orwell wrote this dystopian novel about the destruction of a human being by a totalitarian surveillance state. Winston Smith doubts this system, he hates it. Even the faintest thought of resistance is a thought crime - and it could be his death sentence. He knows that.

Then something unexpected happens: Winston Smith falls in love. But can he really trust the woman he loves? Could she be a member of the Thought Police?

This staging of the classic novel asks how disturbingly relevant it remains today. The threatening world Orwell imagined has never felt closer.
