"Aquila’s productions are beautifully spoken, dramatically revealing, and crystalline
in effect.”
- The New Yorker
As the modern world grapples with the threats and benefits of technological integration and advancement, Aquila Theatre’s evocative adaptation of 1984, cuts deep into the conversation of personal freedom pitted against political repression. One could easily say that Orwell’s prescient story resonates today even more than it did in 1949 when it was first published. 1984 is a classic cautionary tale by one of history’s most challenging authors and provides the kind of evocative themes that suit Aquila’s bold, ensemble-driven, physical style.
