The play, 1984 is adapted from the novel of the same name by George Orwell. It is the story of a future world where war is a constant (only the enemy changes) and Big Brother controls the thoughts and actions of its people.

Winston seemingly is enfolded in The Party. He works for the Ministry of Truth in the Records Department, destroying old stories which might show that the Big Brother was wrong and changes those stories to fit what is happening in the world today. When he gets home, another side of him emerges. He meets and falls in love with Julia, whom he first assumes is a loyal member of The Party and perhaps even works for the Thought Police. Together they suspect that there is an underground group led by the Enemy of the People, Emmanuel Goldstein. They want to join this group. They approach O’Brien, a member of the Inner Party, whom they suspect is a member of the underground. Winston and Julia learn that it's difficult to hide from Big Brother.
