Focus Theatre present the dystopian novel on stage at the Vanbrugh Theatre at 7.30pm on Thursday, November 17 and Friday, November 18.
The story follows protagonist Winston Smith who wrestles with oppression in Oceania, a place where the party scrutinises human actions with ever-watchful Big Brother.
