Story
George Orwell depicts a gray, totalitarian world dominated by Big Brother and its vast network of agents, including the Thought Police - a world in which news is manufactured according to the authorities' will and people live tepid lives by rote. Winston Smith, a hero with no heroic qualities, longs only for truth and decency. But living in a social system in which privacy does not exist and where those with unorthodox ideas are brainwashed or put to death, he knows there is no hope for him.

"De tous les carrefours importants, le visage à la moustache noire vous fixait du regard. BIG BROTHER VOUS REGARDE, répétait la légende, tandis que le regard des yeux noirs pénétrait les yeux de Winston... Au loin, un hélicoptère glissa entre les toits, plana un moment, telle une mouche bleue, puis repartit comme une flèche, dans un vol courbe. C'était une patrouille qui venait mettre le nez aux fenêtres des gens. Mais les patrouilles n'avaient pas d'importance. Seule comptait la Police de la Pensée."

Story
Arrakis è il pianeta più inospitale della galassia. Una landa di sabbia e rocce popolata da mostri striscianti e sferzata da tempeste devastanti. Ma sulla sua superficie cresce il melange, la sostanza che dà agli uomini la facoltà di aprire i propri orizzonti mentali, conoscere il futuro, acquisire le capacità per manovrare le immense astronavi che garantiscono gli scambi tra i mondi e la sopravvivenza stessa dell'Impero. Sul saggio Duca Leto, della famiglia Atreides, ricade la scelta dell'Imperatore per la successione ai crudeli Harkonnen al governo dell'ambito pianeta.

Publisher's summary
"Fino a che non diventeranno coscienti del loro potere, non saranno mai capaci di ribellarsi e, fino a che non saranno liberati, non diventeranno mai coscienti del loro potere."
L'azione si svolge in un futuro prossimo del mondo (l'anno 1984) in cui il potere si concentra in tre immensi superstati: Oceania, Eurasia ed Estasia. Al vertice del potere politico in Oceania c'è il Grande Fratello, onnisciente e infallibile, che nessuno ha visto di persona ma di cui ovunque sono visibili grandi manifesti.
Il Ministero della Verità, nel quale lavora il personaggio principale, Smith, ha il compito di censurare libri e giornali non in linea con la politica ufficiale, di alterare la storia e di ridurre le possibilità espressive della lingua.
Per quanto sia tenuto sotto controllo da telecamere, Smith comincia a condurre un'esistenza "sovversiva". Scritto nel 1949, il libro è considerato una delle più lucide rappresentazioni del totalitarismo.
1984 descrive un mondo in perenne conflitto, diviso in tre superpotenze totalitarie: Oceania, Eurasia ed Estasia. Nella prima, dove la storia è ambientata, e più precisamente nella sua capitale, Londra, a dominare è un partito guidato da un leader supremo, idealizzato, onnisciente e infallibile, chiamato Grande Fratello.
I suoi obiettivi: estremizzare i valori socialisti, al punto da annientare ogni libertà, controllando tutti e tutto non solo mediante telecamere disposte in ogni casa, strada e ufficio, ma attraverso il controllo mentale operato dalla psicopolizia, che in ogni luogo diffonde le sue spie.
Censura, diffusione di analfabetismo e ignoranza estesa alle masse, destinate all'obbedienza: in tutto questo vi è ancora qualcuno deciso ad alzare la testa, a distinguersi dagli altri e contrastare con ogni mezzo il sistema in cui si trova, suo malgrado, a vivere.
Questo quanto si propone di fare il protagonista di questa storia, Winston Smith, un impiegato del Ministero della Verità che si unisce all'prganizzazione segreta della Confraternita.
Ma, in un sistema in cui a dominare sono corruzione e avidità, può un esiguo manipolo di ribelli sovvertire l'organizzazione sociale? Scritto nel 1949, il libro è considerato una delle più lucide rappresentazioni del totalitarismo, un caposaldo della letteratura distopica.

Story
"1984", dnes již klasické dílo antiutopického žánru, je bezesporu jedním z nejpozoruhodnějších románů 20. století a brilantní analýzou totalitních systémů. Britská společnost žije v roce 1984 pod nadvládou všemocné Strany. Hlavní hrdina Winston Smith, zaměstnanec Ministerstva pravdy, roboticky přežívá pod stálým dohledem Velkého bratra. Nepřetržité války a nedostatek základních potravin ještě přispívají k všeobecné duševní prázdnotě a mizérii. Winston Smith se zmůže na jedinou formu odporu: vede si tajný deník.

London, 1984: Winston Smith, Geschichtsfälscher im Staatsdienst, verliebt sich in die schöne und geheimnisvolle Julia. Gemeinsam beginnen sie, die totalitäre Welt infrage zu stellen, als Teil derer sie bisher funktioniert haben. Doch bereits ihre Gedanken sind Verbrechen, und der Große Bruder richtet seinen stets wachsamen Blick auf jeden potenziellen Dissidenten. George Orwells Vision eines totalitären Staats, in dem Cyberüberwachung, Geschichtsrevisionismus und Gedankenpolizei den Alltag gläserner Bürger bestimmen, hat wie keine andere Dystopie bis heute nur an Brisanz gewonnen.

It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

1984 isn't just a novel; it's a key to understanding the modern world. George Orwell's final work is a treasure chest of ideas and memes - Big Brother, the Thought Police, Doublethink, Newspeak, 2+2=5 - that gain potency with every year. Particularly in 2016, when the election of Donald Trump made it a best seller ("Ministry of Alternative Facts", anyone?).

NBC University Theater initially started in Chicago with a remit to bring adaptations of classic novels, usually Anglo-American, to a radio audience. In its later years, it also included short stories and plays and went on to win the distinguished Peabody award. University Theater relied on excellent distillations of the novels and first-class acting alongside high production values.
