1984 is coming to Broadway
2017 has proven to be the biggest year for George Orwell’s 1984 since 1984; inspired by the current political climate of alternative facts and endless government proclamations, the book is currently sitting high on a number of bestseller lists. (It even got to take an accidental trip to Tiny Train World.) Now, it’s been announced that a stage production of Orwell’s dystopian masterpiece, developed by Robert Icke and Duncan Macmillan, will kick off the 2017 Broadway season. Based on a London production that drew strong reviews when it initially debuted in 2013, the play will open on June 22, 2017.
