REVIEW: 1984
Reading Time: 2 minutesThe first thing you might notice about this production of 1984 at Liverpool Playhouse is their excellent use of projection and set design to transport you into Winston Smith’s world and transform the theatre space from anything from backdrops or middle-ground scenery (achieved through clever use of a semi-transparent screen on stage) to video and computer screens. Before the show proper even begins the screen on stage displays an enormous eye, the camera roving the audience - we too are already under a state of surveillance.
