The Arts theatre hosts the adaptation of the novel from Tuesday 21 to Saturday October 25.
The play tells the story of comrade 6079, Winston Smith who thinks a thought, starts a diary, and falls in love.
But Big Brother is watching him - and the door to Room 101 can swing open in the blink of an eye.
Directed by Cambridge graduate, Rob Icke, this hugely successful co-production was one of Headlong’s most acclaimed and commercially successful tours in recent history, having had its world premiere at Nottingham Playhouse in September 2013.
