We are living in a time when a slogan is repeated quite often on a global scale. It goes like “Make Orwell Fiction Again”. The legacy of George Orwell is such, that his works even after more than 50 years appear to be coming true and not in a good way. Audible is bringing George Orwell’s famous book “1984” to life in a new way! Instead of reading it, you’ll be able to listen to it like a play starting on April 4, 2024. The cast includes well-known actors like Andrew Garfield, Cynthia Erivo, Tom Hardy, and Andrew Scott. They’ll be playing the main characters in the story.
This version of “1984” has been approved by the people who manage George Orwell’s work. They’re excited about it because they think it’s going to be great. Plus, there’s going to be music specially made for this audio version, created by Matthew Bellamy from the band Muse.
The story itself is all about a world where love and freedom are forbidden. But Winston and Julia, the main characters, fall in love anyway. It’s a dangerous thing to do in the world where “The Big Brother Is Watching You”.
Let’s wait to see if the audiobook terrifies you in a similar fashion as the book does. Let’s wait till April 4 on Audible.
