This is one of my favorite books, so I really wanted to see the play. It was certainly a surprise to see it staged as a 1940’s radio show, to start with, and then shifting into different times, with the same cast playing the same parts.
I’m not sure how effective that all was – especially the radio play part. There was also the recurring excerpts from On Tyranny. Absolutely appropriate, so I guess the intent was to link 1984 to 2018.
The student cast did a good job, and the production was well done with effective and sometimes jarring lighting. However it was too much of a mixed bag for me.
