1984
by George Orwell
a new play by Robert Icke and Duncan Macmillan
directed by Dámaso Rodríguez
September 7 - October 6
Location: Imago Theatre
Discussion after the matinee on October 6th with Garrick Duckler, PhD, LMFT


Always under the watchful eye of Big Brother, Winston has nowhere to turn and no one to trust as anyone or anything could be running surveillance on behalf of the government. The Thought Police monitor society and dole out nightmarish punishments on behalf of the authoritarian Party, who propagandize ‘Ignorance is Strength’. Based on the iconic novel by George Orwell, 1984 is an intense theatrical reflection of how far technology and falsifying reality has come.
