Matthew Lenton is the artistic director of Vanishing Point Company (Glasgow). He will direct a cast of Italian actors for the production 1984, based on the book by George Orwell.

What if you were being watched all the time?
What if the authorities knew what you were thinking?
What would be the worst thing they could know?
What if they could use it against you?

If you’ve got nothing to hide, you’ve got nothing to worry about, right?

Winston Smith works for the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history to suit the party line. Events that contradict the party’s version of the truth are deleted and history is rewritten. News is Fake. Winston is good at what he does, but a curiosity is awakened in him, a curiosity about the real past. And a woman. Is it possible to fall in love in this world? This question will have dangerous consequences for Winston and even see him condemned to the infamous, and terrifying, Room 101.
In a compelling and visually striking new production by Matthew Lenton, we will see how Orwell's 1984 feels more prescient now than ever. In a world of constant surveillance, justified by the threat of terrorism, how far will the authorities go to control us?
