death-defying (or nearly!) finale at the London Palladium! With four actors playing a minimum of one hundred and thirty nine

April, 1984. 13:00. Comrade 6079, Winston Smith, thinks a thought, starts a diary, and falls in love. But Big Brother is always
watching. Orwell’s ideas have become our ideas; his fiction is often said to be our reality. Following a sold-out run at the Almeida
Theatre, the critically acclaimed production of Orwell’s dystopian masterpiece, 1984, transfers to the West End for a strictly
limited season. The 'definitive book of the 20th century' is re-examined in a radical new staging exploring surveillance, identity
and why Orwell’s vision of the future is as relevant now as ever.***** Time Out, The Independent, The Times, The Guardian.

What would lead a man to betray his country? What would lead a boy to betray his friends? Julian Mitchell’s Olivier Award-
winning play follows a company of public schoolboys through a summer term in the early 1930s where Bennett and Judd are
both outsiders; one coming to terms with his homosexuality, the other already a committed Marxist. But the Establishment has
traditional ways of dealing with rebels and when a scandal rocks the school, the young men must confront their beliefs and
make choices which will have a momentous impact on their lives and on the future of their country.

love with the plain Jane Seymour, Cromwell must negotiate an increasingly dangerous court as he charms, bullies and

ambitions.

sons as prisoners of war. Titus’ sacrifice of Tamora’s eldest son to appease the ghosts of his dead sons, and his decision to

Since 1989, over 7 million people have lived to tell the tale of one of the most exciting, spooky, gripping and successful theatre
events ever staged. Unanimously acclaimed by the critics, Stephen Mallatratt's adaptation of Susan Hill's bestselling novel

more real than any of them could have foreseen. Featuring Risteárd Cooper, Brian Cox, Dervla Kirwan and Ardal O'Hanlon.
