  • 1984, the unforgettable theatrical phenomenon, has returned to London's Playhouse Theatre.
    The five-star smash hit production of George Orwell’s dystopian masterpiece 1984 has been seen by over a quarter of a million people and is now back in London for a strictly limited summer season until Saturday 29th October 2016.
    April, 1984/ 13:00. Comrade 6079, Winston Smith, thinks a though, starts a diary, and falls in love. But Big Brother is always watching.
    Orwell’s ideas have become our ideas; his fiction is often said to be our reality. The “definitive book of the 20th century” (The Guardian) is re-examined in this radical and much lauded staging exploring surveillance, identity and why Orwell’s vision of the future is as relevant now as ever.
    1984 has been adapted by Olivier Award-winner Robert Icke (Best Director - Oresteia) and Olivier Award-nominee Duncan Macmillan (People, Places & Things).

  • ‘A work of extraordinary quality and intensity’

    THE INDEPENDENT



    'In Headlong's searing update, Wedekind's 1891 "children's tragedy" seems both crazy fresh and as old as time.'

    THE SUNDAY TIMES



    'Ben Kidd's ingenious production makes this often censored play newly wild and newly convincing... It's hard to imagine a stronger cast of young actors.'

    THE OBSERVER



    'Anya Reiss has taken Wedekind's original way ahead of its time... It works brilliantly.'
