3/23-4/23 - Williamston Theatre presents 1984
By George Orwell
Adapted by Michael Gene Sullivan
Directed by Tony Caselli
March 23 – April 23, 2017
A Michigan Premiere!
Based on the iconic novel by George Orwell, 1984 brings us the story of Winston Smith, a cog in the giant machine state of Oceania. Winston has been caught struggling for scraps of love and freedom in a world awash with distrust and violence. With the brutal “help” of four Party Members, Winston is forced to confess his Thought crimes before an unseen inquisitor, and the audience – which acts as a silent witness to his torture. A ferocious and provocative adaptation of one of the most prescient works of literature of the last century, 1984 asks: What does it mean to be an individual? What does it mean to be human?
