g MATTHEW Dunster’s direction


, of George Orwell’s classic “1984” is visually stunning and power­ fully played. I wondered beforehand how Orwell’s dystopian vision of the future, based on his horror of Stalinist and other totalitarian regimes, from a world view in 1948 would relate to the 21st cen­ tury. I t still has much to say to a


contemporary audience. I was struck by Syme’s (Jamie


de Courcey) impassioned speech about the gradual destruction of language, given our current con­ cerns about texting, e-mailing, twittering and blogging on the expressive capacities of younger people. The torture scenes of the sec­


ond a c t are horrific and a reminder of Abu Ghraib, Guan­ tanamo and so many other places - North Korea, Zimbabwe and

more. This is a gripping produc­ tion, worth seeing for an amaz­ ingly harrowing performance from Jonathan McGuinness as the protagonist, Winston. He is well supported by an


excellent ensemble acting a vari­ ety of parts and helping to move the battered furniture, indicative of a bleak environment, creating a sense of seamless movement from scene to scene. Caroline Bartlett makes an

spirator. Matthew Flynn is a chilling interrogator and Paul Moriarty as Goldstein received a well-deserved burst of applause for his chillingly lucid speech interpreting a savage view of human class divisions (sadly with remembrances of John Cleese, Ronnie Barker and Ronnie Cor­ bett in that famous sketch, a fur­ ther indication of how the world has changed since Orwell’s day). This production is also a won­


derful chance to see the Royal Exchange design team a t its best. I marvelled a t the way in


which they created so many dif­ ferent places - the homes, the secret hiding places of the lovers and, ultimately, a truly terrifying prison and interrogation room. And the idea of Thought Police
