1984 plays at Parramatta’s Riverside Theatre

Big Brother is back. The George Orwell classic – 1984. But did 1984 ever really leave us? Is it more prevalent now?
Shake & Stir Theatre Co brings 1984 to the stage with a fiercely physical performance style, alongside an arresting audio visual design. It’s a razor-sharp reimagining with an eerie resonance of today’s surveillance culture.
This chilling, edge-of-your-seat political thriller hits the Parramatta Riverside theatre stage from the 25th – 26th July 2025.
Cast member, Michael Whalley, chats with Danny Chifley on the Breakfast Show.
