About this listen
From the age of uniformity.
From the age of solitude and doublethink.
From the age of Big Brother.
From me, Winston Smith.
Greetings.
It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.
Starring Andrew Garfield as Winston, Cynthia Erivo as Julia, Andrew Scott as the alluring, mysterious O’Brien, and featuring Tom Hardy as Big Brother, Audible presents a new dramatization of George Orwell’s classic tale. An immersive listening experience like none you’ve heard before, at a time when it has all never felt more chillingly relevant.
Featuring a haunting original score composed by Muse’s lead singer and songwriter Matthew Bellamy and Ilan Eshkeri, recorded by the London Metropolitan Orchestra at Abbey Road Studios, the production is directed by BAFTA Award winner Destiny Ekaragha, produced in Dolby Atmos by Granny Eats Wolf, and dramatised by Olivier Award nominated writer Joe White.
Also starring Chukwudi Iwuji, Romesh Ranganathan, Natasia Demetriou, Francesca Mills, Alex Lawther and Katie Leung.
Featuring Ian Abeysekera, Rachel Atkins, Grace Baker, Joanna Brookes, Clare Corbett, Doug Devaney, Imogen Front, Sam Garioch, Raj Ghatak, Frances Jeater, Mason Moore, Yasmin Mwanza, Harry Myers, Kaelum Nelson, John Sackville, Sienna Sangha, Sam Stafford, Jo Troy, Jenny White, Sarah Whitehouse & Alix Wilton Regan

Garfield is outstanding!
An excellent adaptation of Orwell's classic dystopian fiction. Andrew Garfield is incomparable as Winston, and Hardy's voice has never sounded as chilling as it does here. Great acting, great production and great music. Loved it.

An immersive experience!
From the voice actors to the sound effects to the musical score. This was truly an immersive experience. A cautionary tale of totalitarianism made very real for the listener.

Masterful told and executed
The story of 1984 is well known but to bring it to life in the manner that they did took it to another level. Whether the narration, the drama or music it had all the ingredients to ensure one was gripped to the story.
At times I the story was over the top but knowing some regimes now monitor their citizens to the extent that they award rewards for confirming behaviours and punishment for negative behaviour. The crowd mentality, while chilling was also performed very well.
Not too much in the way of negative comments.

The performances were great.
Great performances. It's a sad miserable dark book. Listening to is like driving past a car crash. You want to look away but you can't!!

Very well produced
A classic story re defined in an intensive play. Amazing cast and the sound affects they use in some scenes really drew me into it
