Broadview Heights Spotlights Theater

Presents

 “1984” based on the Novel by George Orwell

This stage adaptation is true to the novel in which Orwell depicts with great power the horrors of man’s fate in a society where Big Brother is always watching—where everything that is not prohibited is compulsory.

The show runs Fridays and Saturdays, April 17th to May 2nd at 7:30PM, with one Sunday Matinee on April 26th at 3:00PM. Tickets are $20 for adults and $18 for seniors and students. They are available at www.broadview-heights-spotlights.org or at the door if seats are available. All shows will be held at the Broadview Heights Spotlights Theater, 9543 Broadview Road (on the Broadview Heights City Campus next to the Police Station).

As the cast presents the play, you will be participating in a theatrical event that is both powerful and disturbingly provocative. Orwell himself once said, “I do not believe that the kind of society I describe necessarily will arrive, but I believe that something resembling it could arrive. The moral to be drawn from the dangerous nightmare situation is a simple one: Don’t let it happen. It depends on you.”

The show is adapted by Robert Owens, Wilton E. Hall, Jr., and William A. Miles, Jr. It is directed by Brandi Eaton with Intimacy Direction by Tara Corkery. The producer is Stephanie Malfara and Technical Design is by Tim Anderson and Dan Hunsicker. It features Tara Martens, Neda Spears, Clay Hoffner, Eli Ravenson, Meghan Hardin, Connor Krohn, Mario Becerra, Eleanor Perna, Elizabeth Flood, and Barb Howitt.

Produced by Special Arrangement with The Dramatic Publishing Company of Woodstock, Illinois.
