Robert Icke and Duncan Macmillan’s explosive, multi-award-winning adaptation of George Orwell’s masterwork begins with the most dangerous act imaginable: a man picks up a pen. In a world where Big Brother watches every move and an independent thought is a death sentence, Winston Smith dares to write, to love, and to remember what is true. The definitive dystopian novel has never felt more urgent — or more now.
