Under the close eye of Big Brother, Winston has been caught struggling for scraps of love and freedom in a world awash with conformity, distrust, control, 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. One of the most widely referenced and best-known fiction titles of all time, 1984 makes the dark implications of unchecked, out-of-control state power feel urgent and real.What They Are Looking ForDowntown Cabaret Theatre “1984” FOR ALL AUDITIONING: Please read the info below in detail.
