Theatre Arts: 1984
Theatre Arts
The Theatre Arts Department proudly presents "1984" adapted for the stage by Robert Owens, Wilton E. Hall Jr. and William A. Miles Jr.
Adapted from the novel by George Orwell, "1984" depicts with great power and intense theatricality the horrors of humanity's fate in a society where privacy is a crime, thoughts can be prosecuted, and truth is reinvented. In the totalitarian world of “1984,” war is peace, freedom is slavery, and ignorance is strength. Don’t forget - Big Brother is always watching.
Performances run October 8-18 in the Forge Theatre. Admission is FREE for U of I students; $6 for youth 18 & under and non-U of I college students; $16 for seniors and military; $21 for U of I faculty, staff and alumni; and $26 for general admission.
