‘DOWN WITH BIG BROTHER’

In 2050, a group of historians pore over the diary of ‘Winston Smith’, a records clerk at the Ministry of Truth.  Its words are a message to them, a letter to the future from a bygone age.
But one question remains unanswered:

Who is Winston?

In a world of telescreens and thought police, Winston has chosen to rebel.  He searches for the truth, falls in love, joins the rebellion of Emmanuel Goldstein.  But Big Brother is watching, and the doors of Room 101 can swing open in an instant …

Stamford Shoestring present a fresh adaptation of Orwell’s iconic text, updated for our terrifying post-truth world. 

This is an amateur production.
