Special night! Theatre play in English 1984 by George Orwell
Hello everyone,
It has been a while and we are back with a very special event.
There are more than 100 theatres in Paris, but very rarely there would be a play in English. When the occasion comes, we think it would be a wonderful opportunity to gather together again, around a piece of work that considered as visionary and one of the most important in the 20th century.
We are kindly offered 20 discounted tickets by the theatre at 25€ instead of 35€ for the show, including a glass of drink after the show for a convivial moment and exchange with the actors who come from England for the night. Don't miss this rare opportunity in Paris !
1984 may well be the most significant work of modern fiction. The company brings this work to the stage without seeking to simplify its message or dilute its power.
The brilliance of 1984 is not only that it predicts a surveillance society in which we now exist, or that it exposes the lies behind every totalitarian ideology or belief, but that it explores these themes inside the human mind as well as in the outer world. Paul Stebbings directs a thriller and a love story, a mind game and an end game. Illuminated by a modern rock score from Christian Auer this production aims to tell what may be the greatest story of our time as we stumble towards an “Orwellian” future where Big Brother is watching YOU.
LE THEATRE DU HERON, associated with international partners, presents English theatre with native actors. This production was hailed across Europe from Tallinn to London as a powerful and exciting production in a ten-month tour that played to packed audiences. 1984 is modern theatre at its best.
The play is 90 minutes long without break.
