 “1984†TO BE STAGED BY EVANSVILLE CIVIC THEATRE!
Evansville, Indiana— March 28, 2022
Kevin Roach (ECT’s Managing Artistic Director) Will Direct The Dramatic Staging Of George Orwell’s Classic, “1984â€
DESCRIPTION
Based on the iconic novel by George Orwell, 1984 brings us the story of an imagined future where Winston Smith is a government employee whose job involves the rewriting of history in a manner that casts his country’s leaders in a charitable light. Physically and mentally under the omnipresent eye of Big Brother, Winston has been caught struggling for scraps of love and freedom in a world awash with distrust and violence. Will Winston succeed and break free from the oppressive forces ruling the land, or will he be forced to confess his thought crimes before an inquisitor and face the consequences of individuality and freedom? An exciting and engaging adaptation of one of the most prescient works of literature of the last century.
