1984 – George Orwell
It’s 1984, and society has transformed in ways unimaginable. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is under the constant watch of Big Brother, leaving no place to hide – except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. While employed at the Ministry of Truth, where he alters the past, Winston secretly harbors dreams of liberation. In a world where love and intimacy are banned, and where it’s difficult to tell friend from foe, he encounters Julia and O’Brien and commits to resisting the regime.
Featuring Andrew Garfield as Winston, Cynthia Erivo as Julia, Andrew Scott as the enigmatic and captivating O’Brien, and Tom Hardy portraying Big Brother, Audible unveils a fresh dramatized adaptation of George Orwell’s timeless story. This immersive audio experience is unlike anything you’ve encountered before, especially at a time when the story’s relevance feels more chilling than ever.
The production boasts a haunting original score crafted by Muse’s lead vocalist and composer Matthew Bellamy in collaboration with Ilan Eshkeri, recorded by the London Metropolitan Orchestra at Abbey Road Studios. Directed by BAFTA Award-winning Destiny Ekaragha, produced in Dolby Atmos by Granny Eats Wolf, and brought to life by Olivier Award-nominated writer Joe White, this adaptation promises an intense listening journey.
The cast also includes Chukwudi Iwuji, Romesh Ranganathan, Natasia Demetriou, Francesca Mills, Alex Lawther, and Katie Leung.
Additional voice talents feature 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, and Alix Wilton Regan.

This dramatization of Orwell’s 1984 is gripping and beautifully produced, with standout performances by Andrew Garfield and Andrew Scott. The sound design and original score add a chilling atmosphere that pulls you right into Winston’s world. However, at times the production feels almost too busy, with effects and voices overlapping in a way that can distract from the clarity of the story. It’s still an excellent adaptation that captures the relevance and darkness of the novel, but the intensity can feel overwhelming. A strong and memorable listen, just shy of perfect.

This modern dramatization of George Orwell’s classic was chilling, mesmerizing and terrifying. Andrew Garfield and Cynthia Erivo were incredible as Winston and Julia. Andrew Scott as Obrien was magnificent. Tom Hardy performed “Big Brother” perfectly. Brilliant story and performances.
