1984

Box Tale Soup present a puppetry adaptation of Orwell's dystopian novel 1984 at Theatre Severn's Walker Theatre.

Award-winning company Box Tale Soup stage a new adaptation of George Orwell's dystopian classic 1984. The production follows Winston Smith, a cog in the Party's machine who dreams of freedom while Big Brother watches, and uses the company's distinctive puppetry as a metaphor for Orwell's vision of power and control. Sophie Aldred, Joanna Lumley and Simon Russell Beale (as the voice of Big Brother) contribute voices to the show. The performance runs 1 hour 40 minutes including an interval and is recommended for ages 12+, with content warnings for sexual references and distressing themes.
