"1984"


1984
Adapted by Michael Gene Sullivan from the Novel by George Orwell

The Cast of 1984
Los Alto Stage Company has chosen a timely, if uncomfortable-to-watch, 1984 for its current season, particularly in the harshly realistic and disturbing adaptation by Michael Gene Sullivan.  Their production proves the power of live theater and what can be done on a stage that cannot be duplicated in quite the same way on the written page or even the movie screen.  This is a production daring for a small, local company and one that should be seen, discussed, and then discussed again.

For my full review of this adaptation by a Bay Area actor and playwright, please refer to Talkin' Broadway: https://www.talkinbroadway.com/page/regional/sanjose/sj112.html.

Rating: 4 E

1984 continues through February 18, 2018 at Los Altos Stage Company, at Los Altos Stage Company, 97 Hillview Avenue, Los Altos, CA.  Tickets are available online at http://losaltosstage.org or Monday – Friday, 3 – 6 p. in person at the box office or by calling 650-941-0551.
