Enter today to win one of two pairs of tickets for Northern Ballet’s 1984 at the Festival Theatre at the end of the month.
As one man risks everything to fall in love, join Northern Ballet in Edinburgh for the Scotland Première of Jonathan Watkins’ critically acclaimed 1984.
Northern Ballet is bringing this cult-classic to life for four performances only at the Festival Theatre from 31 March – 2 April 2016. Tickets can be booked by calling the Box Office on 0131 529 6000 or online at edtheatres.com
In Northern Ballet’s 1984, Ministry of Truth worker Winston Smith lives in a world of absolute conformity, his every action scrutinised by Big Brother. Whilst outwardly conforming to Party doctrine, he is secretly disillusioned, illegally documenting his thoughts in a diary.
When one day he receives a love note from Julia, the pair begin an illicit affair, leading a dangerous double life putting physical desire above Party discipline. As their romance develops and they prepare for an act of political rebellion, Winston and Julia discover that Big Brother is always watching and no one can be trusted; least of all themselves.
Choreographed by Jonathan Watkins, whose recent credits include Kes for Sheffield Crucible Theatre, Northern Ballet’s 1984 is the first full-length ballet adaptation of George Orwell’s renowned novel.
Northern Ballet is the busiest touring ballet company in the UK and is typically on the road for around 32 weeks of the year. The Company of 46 dancers tours a combination of full- length new work and established repertoire to cities throughout the UK.
