"Freedom is slavery.
War is peace.
Ignorance is strength."

1984

Lost In Transit brings George Orwell's timeless novel to the stage in this radical new adaptation, a story that feels less like history and more like the present.

With Big Brother always watching and the past constantly being rewritten, we follow Winston Smith through a dystopian yet familiar nightmare. Despite The Party's grip on reality and history alike, could there be a limitation to its suppression... love?
