About this listen

From the age of uniformity.
From the age of solitude and doublethink.
From the age of Big Brother.
From me, Winston Smith.
Greetings.

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.

Starring Andrew Garfield as Winston, Cynthia Erivo as Julia, Andrew Scott as the alluring, mysterious O’Brien, and featuring Tom Hardy as Big Brother, Audible presents a new dramatization of George Orwell’s classic tale. An immersive listening experience like none you’ve heard before, at a time when it has all never felt more chillingly relevant.

Featuring a haunting original score composed by Muse’s lead singer and songwriter Matthew Bellamy and Ilan Eshkeri, recorded by the London Metropolitan Orchestra at Abbey Road Studios, the production is directed by BAFTA Award winner Destiny Ekaragha, produced in Dolby Atmos by Granny Eats Wolf, and dramatised by Olivier Award nominated writer Joe White.

Also starring Chukwudi Iwuji, Romesh Ranganathan, Natasia Demetriou, Francesca Mills, Alex Lawther and Katie Leung.

Featuring Ian Abeysekera, Rachel Atkins, Grace Baker, Joanna Brookes, Clare Corbett, Doug Devaney, Imogen Front, Sam Garioch, Raj Ghatak, Frances Jeater, Mason Moore, Yasmin Mwanza, Harry Myers, Kaelum Nelson, John Sackville, Sienna Sangha, Sam Stafford, Jo Troy, Jenny White, Sarah Whitehouse & Alix Wilton Regan

Andrew Garfield and Andrew Scott were absolutely brilliant; they showed what power an audio performance can have and what talented voice actors they are! This audio production of 1984 presented the dystopian world, the fear of thought crime, and lack of control and collective amnesia among the people so so well. Tom Hardy saying, "Big Brother is watching you" sent chills.

I would warn though, that the sounds of panic, death, inhumane activities have been added in the audiobook so disturbing content is there. However, everything is hauntingly relevant and George Orwell's 1984 is an analogy of our current world.

Stellar cast, Chilling performance

I really liked the ending and the pacing. I did have minor issues with sudden scene changes, my that's a problem on my part. I would have appreciated a little bit more plot on the proles though, they were interesting.

To me, it was Julia's character. It's stupid but I'm sucker for those type of girls.

It is blood chilling. The production does justice to the essence of the story. I was hooked through out and felt to be inside room 101 as the story was narrated.

Too horrific to be true

the story was really shabby not worth it with an even shabbier ending the story line could have been way better especially after a good first half

only the music and the dialect
