April, 1984. 13:00. Comrade 6079, Winston Smith, thinks a thought, starts a diary, and falls in love. But Big Brother is always watching. Set in a world where an invasive government keeps a malevolently watchful eye on its citizens, this radical and much-lauded staging explores surveillance, identity and why Orwell’s vision of the future is as relevant now as ever.
Produced by UK theatrical innovators Headlong along with Nottingham Playhouse and the Almeida Theatre, George Orwell’s dystopian classic came roaring onto the stage in 2013 and since then it has become an international phenomenon. Seen by over 400,000 people worldwide, it has enjoyed three hugely successful West End seasons as well as an international tour including a sold out season at the Melbourne Festival.
Now with a brand new Australian cast, we bring adapter-directors Robert Icke and Duncan Macmillan’s thrilling vision back to Australia for a national tour. Don’t miss the chance to see one of the 20th century’s greatest novels be given new life by some of the British theatre’s fastest rising stars.
The 2017 Australian Tour of 1984 is produced by ATG, GWB Entertainment and STCSA in association with QPAC, Sydney Theatre Company, Canberra Theatre Centre and the Perth Theatre Trust.

BASIL & BASIL
After a review came in over night from The Sun hailing our new Basil as BRILLIANT, John Cleese thought it best to pass of some wise words of advice to Stephen Hall.
Basil is Back Australia! The World Premiere Tour of Fawlty Towers Live on stage is now playing at the Roslyn Packer Theatre Sydney before touring Australia and New
Zealand.
Fawlty Towers Live is based on the BBC TV series written by John Cleese and Connie Booth. It will be adapted
for the stage by John Cleese,
with direction by Caroline J. Ranger and set design by Liz Ascroft.
Manic, snobbish, condescending and rude, Basil Fawlty is without doubt one of the funniest, most iconic and memorable
British comedy characters ever written. This original adaptation will bring all your beloved characters to life
onstage in an unmissable evening of hilarity!
Playing the role of Basil is the extraordinary Stephen Hall, who leads an all new Australian cast including,
Blazey Best (Sybil), Aimee Horne (Polly) and Syd Brisbane (Manuel).
Tickets are on sale now for the Australian tour,
so come and check into Fawlty Towers Live!
And, whatever you do…Don’t mention the war!
