Washington DC's Theatre Production of George Orwell's 1984 at the Altas Theatre

This amazing performance at the gorgeous Altas Theatre was only $10! What a deal for such talented acting! Tightly performed on a simple, yet versatile set. Some scenes are a little harder to take when you're face to face with them, and the option to put the book down isn't there. But it was captivating. With telescreens and thought crime it was as true to the book as one can imagine or hope.
