“This is one of the most powerful and memorable productions you’ll ever encounter. It doesn’t just tell a story, it engulfs you in it.”

1984

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

Based on George Orwell’s seminal novel, Lost In Transit brings this timeless dystopian classic to the stage in a bold new reimagining of a story that feels less like history and more like tomorrow.

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