Larry Groebe and Project Audion return with an hour-long dramatization of George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four...which was originally produced in August 1949, just a few months after the book was released to great acclaim. NBC University Theater adapted this scathing vision of our possible future world, one where "Freedom is Slavery" and "Big Brother is watching you." Big Brother is a part of our cultural currency now, but in 1949 this was a new and daring novel, and this early audio adaptation feels fresh - and still terrifying. (And still more than a bit relevant.)
