## About this book

George Orwell's landmark dystopian novel, 1984, receives a radical stage adaptation in this first volume of the Untitled series. Set in a totalitarian future, Winston Smith dares to rebel by thinking forbidden thoughts, keeping a diary, and pursuing a forbidden love. His every move is monitored by the ever-present Big Brother, and the Thought Police will stop at nothing to crush his spirit in the dreaded Room 101.

This version, published by Bloomsbury Academic, re-examines the definitive book of the twentieth century as a piece of theatre, blending European drama traditions from English, Irish, Scottish, and Welsh stages. The adaptation probes why Orwell's chilling vision of surveillance, propaganda, and truth control remains strikingly relevant in contemporary society, making it a powerful work of dystopian fiction and performing arts.
