1984 at The Citizen's

Join us for a night at the theatre! We'll be watching a stage adaptation of 1984.

‼️This is a play for 18+. It will touch on very delicate topics, so check the Content Warning section before deciding if you'd like to come.

🎭About the play:

The Thought Police monitor every word you say.

Children spy on their parents and the Party has abolished the truth.

In this totally controlled world, Winston and Julia begin a love affair which catapults them into rebellion against the Party.

The nightmare of a totalitarian society built on terror and lies is brought to vivid life in this powerful new adaptation of Orwell’s final novel, which dramatises Winston and Julia’s epic battle to be human against all odds.

In 2026, George Orwell’s terrifying post-truth world of ‘alternative facts’ is more relevant than ever before..

🕓When?:

• We'll meet at The Citizen's Theatre at 7:10pm. We'll have some tea and biscuits while we wait for the play to start.

• The play will start at 7:30pm.

• The play will finish at 10pm.
