Orwell: A Celebration Starring Hal Cruttenden, Alan Cox and Ben Porter Directed by Gene David Kirk Presented by Doublethink Theatre and The Fish Partnership An unforgettable celebration of George Orwell featuring the West End premiere of Dominic Cavendish’s critically acclaimed adaptation of Coming Up for Air, extracts from Nineteen Eighty-Four and two other rare shorts. Hal Cruttenden reprises his unmissable performance as George Bowling, the hen-pecked insurance-man who flees the suburbs for the countryside of his childhood, on the eve of World War Two. Coming Up for Air displays Orwell’s great gift for comic writing and grasp of middle class anxieties at a time of political and economic crisis. The evening also features a chilling distillation of Nineteen Eighty-Four’s Ministry of Love interrogation scene and performances of Orwell’s essays: Shooting an Elephant and A Hanging. With an additional complementary strand of talks and debates, and all profits going to the human rights group Liberty and the Orwell Prize, the stage is set is for an unprecedented celebration marking the 60th and 70th anniversaries of the publications of Nineteen Eighty-Four and Coming Up for Air.
