My overall impression

This show knocked my socks off. A tour de force from Larry Cedar, beautiful staging and direction, an incredible script – I havent read Orwell in long enough that I can’t speak to how directly the text of the play was lifted from the text of his novels but the textual and theatrical elements worked together brilliantly to create an amazing, funny, disturbing representation of an Orwellian worldview that is very appropriate for our current world, both in the funny and disturbing aspects of that view. Basically, this show is amazing, and everyone should see it.
