WEST End hit 1984 is on at the Nuffield Theatre in Southampton this week as part of its second UK tour.

The production, which was nominated for an Olivier award in the Best New Play category, runs until Saturday.

The Headlong, Nottingham Playhouse and Almeida Theatre production of Robert Icke and Duncan Macmillan’s critically acclaimed adaptation of George Orwell’s dystopian masterpiece, performed a sold-out run at the Almeida Theatre, before transferring to the West End’s Playhouse Theatre where it continued to receive critical acclaim and play to sell-out audiences.

George Orwell’s 1984, published in 1949, is one of the most influential novels in recent history, with its chilling depiction of perpetual war, pervasive government surveillance and incessant public mind control. Its ideas have become our ideas, and Orwell's fiction is often said to be our reality.

This radical new staging explores surveillance culture, identity and how thinking you can fly might actually be the first step to flying.
