The 1984 play is a theatrical adaptation of George Orwell's iconic novel, depicting Winston Smith's life in the totalitarian state of Oceania, ruled by the Party under Big Brother. Winston rebels by keeping a diary and falling in love with Julia, but he is eventually caught, tortured by the Party, and forced to betray Julia in the Room 101. The play is known for its shocking and provocative nature, often employing theatrical techniques like live video feeds and intense torture scenes to immerse the audience in the story's horror and paranoia.
