Big Brother is watching you.

Under the all-seeing eye of Big Brother, Winston Smith spends his days in the Ministry of Truth, rewriting the past to serve a government that erases and reshapes reality. But beneath his obedient surface, a flicker of rebellion smolders.

Despite constant surveillance and the ever-present threat of repression, he starts to inwardly question the Party. A note from a colleague - 'I love you' - marks the beginning of a secret affair that breaks all the rules. Together they embark on a dangerous journey against an all-seeing regime that punishes the desire to think freely.

But what will happen when they are found out?

This classic dystopian novel is a vision of life under totalitarian rule, where every thought or action could bring the Thought Police to the door.

About the Author

George Orwell (1903-1950) is one of the world's most influential writers, the visionary author of Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four as well as a number of non-fiction classics. By the time of his death in 1950, he was world-renowned as both a journalist and author.

Murugiah is a multi-disciplinary British Sri Lankan artist, illustrator & designer working in London. Using a colourfully surreal visual aesthetic he playfully explores the macabre, bittersweet and joyful experience of his daily life & identity. Infused with candy coated dreams and peppered with South Asian motifs, his work - encompassing film, architecture, art & design - resonates with those also seeking kindness, authenticity & compassion.
