Rated PG. This authorized stage adaptation is true to the novel in which Orwell depicts with great power the horrors of
man’s fate in a society where Big Brother is always watching—where everything that is not prohibited is
compulsory. As your cast presents the play, you will be participating in a theatrical event that is both powerful
and disturbingly provocative. Orwell himself once said, “I do not believe that the kind of society I describe
necessarily will arrive, but I believe that something resembling it could arrive. The moral to be drawn from the
dangerous nightmare situation is a simple one: Don’t let it happen. It depends on you.”
