1984 presented by Shakespeare Theatre Company at Michael R. Klein Theatre

Although the year 1984 has long passed, George Orwell's chilling prophecy of the future is timelier than ever in today's contemporary society. Based on the classic dystopian novel, 1984 breathes new life on stage at the Lansburgh Theatre in Washington, D.C. Within the superstate Oceania, the omniscient Big Brother holds its citizens in constant surveillance while perpetual war rages. Meanwhile, protagonists Winston and Julia must attempt to resist the oppressive Party that utilizes psychological manipulation and physical discipline to brainwash society.
