| Description |
A group of Australian actors come together to produce a stage version of George Orwell's 1984 - they go through casting, debate the adaptation, discuss the present significance of Orwell's novel with advisers, seek the help of recently arrived emigres from totalitarian countries, including them in their project. The actors become imbued with the spirit of Big Brother. Bureaucratic harassment and surveillance, and ideological demands, turn their private lives into Orwellian nightmares. |
