"Sullivan does an exemplary job of distilling 1984's political essence...to clear a path for its trenchant, and still sadly undated, critique."
Los Angeles Times
"[The play] is a harrowing experience... Sad as it is to say, [Orwell] would find himself right at home and sick to heart..."
The Daily Breeze
"This is not your father's George Orwell."
DailyBulletin.com
"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."
World Socialist Web Site
"Sullivan's adaptation subtly infuses the work with modern political rhetoric and smart dialogue."
Los Angeles Alternative
"This version of 1984 effectively argues that Orwell's messages remain as relevant as they were in 1949, perhaps even more so."
Los Angeles Downtown News
"Riveting, frightening, and provocative."
Deseret News (Salt Lake City)
"Brilliant."
Arianna Huffington
"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."
LA Weekly
"This Michael Gene Sullivan adaptation of George Orwell's classic 1984 is multi-layered, intense and disturbing -- exactly how it should be."
The South China Morning Post
"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."
