In a world of total surveillance, Winston Smith takes a dangerous step—he starts to think for himself. With a diary and a pen, he sets himself on a collision course with The Party, led by the ever-watchful BIG BROTHER.

Captured, broken, and thrust into the terrifying depths of the Ministry of Love, Winston fights for freedom in a world where even love is a crime. But can the human spirit truly survive in the face of absolute control? And what horrors lurk in the infamous Room 101?

Experience Orwell’s masterpiece like never before, as Shake & Stir—creators of Frankenstein, Jane Eyre, Animal Farm, and Dracula—deliver a heart-pounding, critically acclaimed stage adaptation.
