Come along to our play reading of this classic tale…In a world where surveillance has become ritual and obedience has become belief, Big Brother is no longer just a political leader — he is an omnipresent god. Beneath towering crosses, flickering screens and the echoes of sacred music corrupted into propaganda, Winston Smith begins a dangerous search for truth, memory and human connection.
