Popejoy Hosts Tim Robbins' "1984"

The Actor’s Gang brings George Orwell’s classic "1984" to life in the stage adaptation directed by Tim Robbins (Mystic River, Shawshank Redemption). This is Tim Robbins’ first production since the award-winning "Embedded." Founded in 1981, The Actor’s Gang has become one of Los Angeles’ most enduring theatre ensembles. Known for their bold, original works and daring reinterpretations of classics, the Actor’s Gang’s work is raw and socially minded.

Written more than half a century ago, "1984" creates a world where people are afraid to express their views freely, where leaders are not held accountable for their deceptions, where perpetual war is waged against an unseen enemy. It is a world where Ignorance is Strength, Freedom is Slavery, and War is Peace. The most striking aspect of "1984" is its parallels to current events and headlines stemming from around the world.
