1984 is a co-production between Headlong, the Almeida Theatre and the Nottingham Playhouse and is based on George Orwell's dystopian novel. The cast includes: Mark Arends, Tim Dutton, Stephen Fewell, Christopher Patrick Nolan, Matthew Spencer, Gavin Spokes, Mandi Symonds and Hara Yannas.
This morning the show received a 2014 Olivier Award nomination for Best New Play. It is the latest production to transfer from the Almeida Theatre to the West End following Chimerica and Ghosts. 1984 is designed by Chloe Lamford, with lighting by Natasha Chivers, sound by Tom Gibbons and video designed by Tim Reid.
The West End production of Spamalot will conclude its run at the Playhouse Theatre on Saturday 12th April. Lovingly ripped off from the 1975 film Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Spamalot opened at the Playhouse Theatre in November 2012. The production currently stars Joe Pasquale, Bonnie Langford and Daniel Boys.
