War is peace, freedom is slavery, and everywhere you go, Big Brother is watching you. In his classic story, Orwell depicts with great power the horrors of man's fate in a society where everything that is not prohibited is compulsory.
You think you know the story. You may have seen the movie. This production is unlike anything you've seen. Using video and other multimedia, we will be bringing this incredible and important story to life in front of your eyes.
On the toes of the 2004 Presidential elections and after a series of questionable changes in the political climate have occurred in the United States ranging from the invasion of Iraq to the U.S. Patriot Act, this play has become more important than ever.
