George Orwell’s - Audio
Nigel Kneale’s adaptation of George Orwell’s most celebrated novel was one of the most controversial television programmes of its time, and marks a key transitional moment in the development of television drama in Britain.
Like all TV drama of the time, Nineteen Eighty-Four was broadcast live, but it made unusually extensive and imaginative use of inserts. This unusual freedom helped make Nineteen Eighty-Four the most expensive TV drama of its day, but other, less costly features were just as striking. The careful use of close-ups, accompanied by recorded voice-over, allows us a window into Winston’s inner Torment (and demonstrates Cushing’s grasp of small screen performance) as he struggles to disguise his ‘thoughtcrimes’, while effectively representing Big Brother’s frightening omniscience.
