Published in 1949, George Orwell’s seminal novel Nineteen Eighty-Four predicted a dystopian future. Sixty years later, many would argue that Orwell’s vision has come true.

In the year that we celebrate the 60th anniversary of the publication of Nineteen Eighty-Four, the National Media Museum is proud to present a unique live theatrical production of the novel in collaboration with Bradford-based theatre company Paper Zoo. Making use of Pictureville Cinema’s Cinerama screen with live video projection, the production will encapsulate the drama and fear ever-present in the play and provide the audience with a unique insight into the mind of George Orwell.

The production will include an interval.

Some scenes may be inappropriate for children.

Tickets for this unique event are priced at £12, £9 concessions.
