Dreamwell Theatre presents George Orwell’s 1984, adapted by Michael Gene Sullivan, directed by Gavin Conkling. Performances will be October 16, 17, 23 & 24 at 7:30pm at our NEW LOCATION, Public Space One (120 N. Dubuque St., Iowa City).

Based on the iconic novel by George Orwell, 1984 brings us the story of Winston Smith, a cog in the giant machine state of Oceania. 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. With the brutal “help” of four Party Members, Winston is forced to confess his Thoughtcrimes before an unseen inquisitor, and the audience — which acts as a silent witness to his torture. A ferocious and provocative adaptation of one of the most prescient works of literature of the last century.
