1984
based on the novel by George Orwell
Adapted by Michael Gene Sullivan
Directed by Tim Robbins

 

Imagine a world where people fear that their opinion cannot be expressed freely, where leaders are not held accountable for their deceptions, where perpetual war is waged against an unseen enemy; a world where Ignorance is Strength, Freedom is Slavery, and War is Peace. This is the world George Orwell created more than half a century ago and its prescience of today’s world is stunning. Artistic Director Tim Robbins is directing his first production since the acclaimed and controversial Embedded, in this powerful new stage adaptation by San Francisco Mime Troupe’s Michael Gene Sullivan.
