How to survive in a world of fake news & mass surveillance?

90 minutes of performance with Winston Smith for a flick through George Orwell’s last novel – the book that gave readers Big Brother, Doublethink, Thoughtcrime & Room 101.  

The events aim to engage and inspire local audiences as part of the B.B.C. Novels that Shaped our World – where a panel of leading writers, curators and critics were asked to choose 100 genre-busting novels that have had an impact on our lives. 

Directed by Kevin Dyer and Performed by Harvey Robinson at Little Sutton Library, Ellesmere Port Library and Hope Farm Library during April 2020. This show is for curious people interested in one of the greatest British writers and aims to bring to life extracts of this rule breaking novel.
