1984! The Musical!

published: 2020-01-09 | 5 min read

Tap-dancing in torture chambers, rats with razzle-dazzle, Big Brother with even bigger star power – 1984! has it all! Join us on our dystopic romp: a light-hearted comedy about totalitarianism, thought-police, surveillance states, and sex. Will Winston start a revolution, or will he yield to his oppressors? Either way, he’ll sing while trying! In a world where “alternative facts,” have normalised Doublethink and our phones collect our data and watch us like Telescreens, Orwell’s dystopia has never felt closer to home. Equal parts soul-crushing and side-splitting, this is the musical for our times. So pop open the Victory Gin and grab your tickets to 1984! The Musical! It’s double-plus-good! Produced in association with New Theatre Newtown.
