Winston Smith, insignificant cog in the Party’s vast machine, dreams of freedom, but is he the only one? Big Brother is watching and dreams can be deadly when rebellion begins with a thought. Known for their ingenuity and slick storytelling, Box Tale Soup’s unique puppetry becomes a striking metaphor for Orwell’s chilling vision of power and control. Featuring the voices of Sophie Aldred & Joanna Lumley, with Simon Russell Beale as the voice of Big Brother.
