Summary
From the age of uniformity.
From the age of solitude and doublethink.
From the age of Big Brother.
From me, Winston Smith.
Greetings.
It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.
Starring Andrew Garfield as Winston, Cynthia Erivo as Julia, Andrew Scott as the alluring, mysterious O’Brien, and featuring Tom Hardy as Big Brother, Audible presents a new dramatization of George Orwell’s classic tale. An immersive listening experience like none you’ve heard before, at a time when it has all never felt more chillingly relevant.
Featuring a haunting original score composed by Muse’s lead singer and songwriter Matthew Bellamy and Ilan Eshkeri, recorded by the London Metropolitan Orchestra at Abbey Road Studios, the production is directed by BAFTA Award winner Destiny Ekaragha, produced in Dolby Atmos by Granny Eats Wolf, and dramatised by Olivier Award nominated writer Joe White.
Also starring Chukwudi Iwuji, Romesh Ranganathan, Natasia Demetriou, Francesca Mills, Alex Lawther and Katie Leung.
Featuring Ian Abeysekera, Rachel Atkins, Grace Baker, Joanna Brookes, Clare Corbett, Doug Devaney, Imogen Front, Sam Garioch, Raj Ghatak, Frances Jeater, Mason Moore, Yasmin Mwanza, Harry Myers, Kaelum Nelson, John Sackville, Sienna Sangha, Sam Stafford, Jo Troy, Jenny White, Sarah Whitehouse & Alix Wilton Regan

Utterly brilliant
Top performances bringing a classic to life that made me really excited to keep listening - this story continues to deliver chills in a new and engaging way. Cast are excellent, music actually adds to the experience rather than just being a Segway between chapters and my only issue is that I wish there were more adaptations of this quality for mw to listen to as I lie in bed on an early Sunday morning.

Fantastic adaptation
Great cast, great music and the themes really shone through. I could have done with much less of the amorous noises. I am not a prude by any measure but I found it just pulled me out of the story. Had it been on tv it would have been fine but audio just didn’t add anything for me. I thought the casting of characters was great really enjoyed them and Andrew Scott is always a firm favourite as a villain. So glad this was included in the subscription, well worth it!

Downloaded this without expectations
Great dramatisation of a classic. Halfway through i realised i recognised some of the voices. It has an A-list cast delivering an A star performance.
