View all →About This Event
The Citizens Theatre in Glasgow presents a forthcoming production of 1984 by Various, set against a backdrop where Big Brother watches and the Thought Police monitor every word. In this totally controlled world, children spy on their parents while the Party has abolished truth itself. Winston and Julia navigate a dystopia where reality is rewritten and rebellion becomes an act of defiance.
Big Brother is watching you. The Thought Police monitor every word you say. Children spy on their parents and the Party has abolished the truth. In this totally controlled world, Winston and Julia begin a love affair which catapults them into rebellion against the Party. The nightmare of a totalitarian society built on terror and lies is brought to vivid life in this powerful new adaptation of Orwell’s final novel, which dramatises Winston and Julia’s epic battle to be human against all odds. In 2026, George Orwell’s terrifying post-truth world of ‘alternative facts’ is more relevant than ever before.
