1984 by George Orwell adapted for the stage by Michael Gene Sullivan

"Sullivan does an exemplary job of distilling 1984's political essence...to clear a path for its trenchant, and still sadly undated, critique."

"[The play] is a harrowing experience... Sad as it is to say, [Orwell] would find himself right at home and sick to heart..."

"This is not your father's George Orwell."

"You don't just watch to observe, you become implicated -- as if sitting at Orwell's two-way telescreen to watch how long it takes Big Brother to break a man."

"Sullivan's adaptation subtly infuses the work with modern political rhetoric and smart dialogue."

"This version of 1984 effectively argues that Orwell's messages remain as relevant as they were in 1949, perhaps even more so."

"Riveting, frightening, and provocative."

"Brilliant."

"Sullivan has boiled down the book's 300 pages to a scant 100 minutes, culling the story's political essentials while retaining the melancholy whimsy of it's hero's life."

"This Michael Gene Sullivan adaptation of George Orwell's classic 1984 is multi-layered, intense and disturbing -- exactly how it should be."

"Sullivan's adaptation of 1984 is a chilling reminder that some of the political excesses set forth in George Orwell's novel are painfully evident in today's increasingly monopolistic media."
