Have you ever heard of Orwell's 1984? Whether you have read the novel or simply just know the story (or not) - we come to you with the opportunity to see it come to life on stage in May.
Thespians Anonymous Theatrical Society is pleased to present "1984" (in English)
Directed by: Diana Cousminer
There is only one crime... Thoughtcrime.
Winston Smith is an average Party member living under the watchful eyes of Big Brother. In a grim existence where the past is as uncertain as the future, he is about to commit a capital crime: to fall in love. With every moment of daily life closely monitored, Winston and Julia struggle with the divide between inner morality and the dictates of their government. When leaders can't be trusted and the government seeks to break, sanitize and control the human mind, sweeping away entire chapters in the history of civilization, can the human spirit persevere?
This timeless, riveting story is based on George Orwell’s 1949 novel and adapted for theatre by Robert Owens, Wilton E. Hall, Jr., and William A. Miles, Jr.
